About


Hi, and thank you for your interest. I am an Economic Fellow with the Institute for Policy Integrity at NYU School of Law. My research centers on how the design of renewable resource-based systems, such as markets for food, can affect environmental quality. 
I previously held positions at Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA) and the Population Council where I co-authored academic publications on development, education, reproductive health, and survey methods. I received a PhD in Economics in 2025, a Master of Pacific International Affairs in 2014 and a Bachelor of Arts in 2011 from UCSD.

I will join Hunter College (CUNY) Department of Economics as an Assistant Professor in August 2026.
