In July 2025 I will be joining Barnard College at Columbia University as an Assistant Professor of Economics. I received my PhD in Economics from MIT in May 2025. 

I am a Special Sworn Status researcher via the Census Bureau. My research has been supported by the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship Program. Previously, I was a Senior Research Analyst at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in the Financial Intermediation division. I received my BA from Dartmouth College in 2017 in Economics and Mathematics.

Primary field: International Macroeconomics. 

Secondary fields: Trade, Macroeconomics.

My research focuses on frictions that shape how international cost shocks (i.e. exchange rates, tariffs) affect the macroeconomy.
