Hello! I am an economist studying health and human behavior. My research investigates how people form beliefs and make decisions in contexts like diagnostic medicine, mental illness, and public health crises. I study these topics using algorithmic tools and randomized control trials.
In Fall 2025, I will join the UC Berkeley Center for Healthcare Marketplace Innovation as a postdoctoral fellow. I completed my PhD in Economics at MIT in 2025, and my Bachelor’s in Statistics from Harvard University in 2016. In between the two, I worked as a data scientist at Civis Analytics, where I consulted for political campaigns, nonprofits, and tech companies.
