I am currently a PhD candidate in the University of Maryland’s Economics PhD program. I am interested in urban topics including housing and migration along with intersections with public policy and labor markets. I am also interested in issues of household decision making, inequality, and public welfare. I am currently working as an RA for Melissa Kearney focused on research around demographic changes, birth rates, and family structure. I am also working as an Economist for Ipso Facto Solutions, a small consultant firm, working primarily on model validation and estimation for a variety of clients.

I graduated from the University of Maryland with a Bachelor of Science in Economics and a Bachelor of Arts in Studio Art in 2018. Prior to starting my PhD at Maryland in 2020, I spent two and a half years at Fannie Mae as a quantitative modeler in the Model Risk Management Division.
