I’m a PhD student in economics at MIT. I work at the intersection of health economics, behavioral economics, and applied econometrics.
My past work has studied the effects of mindfulness meditation on mental health and economic behavior, and the role of government guidance during a public health crisis.
I received an AB in Statistics from Harvard University in 2016, where I picked up an appreciation for Bayesian inference and discovered the hidden gem that is Lizzy’s Ice Cream. Before returning to academia, I worked for a time as a data scientist at Civis Analytics, consulting for political campaigns, nonprofits, and tech companies.
