I am a Senior Researcher in Labor Economics at foundry10.

My current work focuses on the education-to-work pipeline. I have also studied topics in social policy and intergenerational mobility. Across these areas, I use applied microeconomic methods guided by economic theory to understand the mechanisms underlying social mobility and evaluate investments designed to promote it.

Previously, I was a Klarman Fellow at Cornell University. I received my Ph.D. at the University of Chicago in December 2022 as a National Science Foundation graduate research fellow and an Institute of Education Sciences pre-doctoral fellow. My dissertation has been recognized by the Association for Public Policy Analysis & Management and the National Tax Association. Prior to graduate school, I completed my B.A. at the University of Pennsylvania and was involved in various nonprofits, the City of Philadelphia's anti-poverty agency, and the White House National Economic Council.
