I am an Economics PhD Candidate at Cornell University in the Department of Economics and the Brooks School of Public Policy. My research interests are in labor economics, health economics, and applied microeconomics. In my job market paper, I explore the relationship between caregiving and labor market outcomes by quantifying the impact of parental health shocks of varying severity on adult children.
I previously was a Research Assistant at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. I graduated with a BA in Economics and Mathematical Methods in the Social Sciences from Northwestern University in 2019.
I am on the 2026-2027 job market.
