Welcome
I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Better Government Lab, a joint research center of Georgetown University’s McCourt School of Public Policy and the University of Michigan’s Ford School of Public Policy. I graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a Ph.D. in economics in 2025 and with a B.A. from Swarthmore College in 2017.
I will be a visiting assistant professor of economics at Haverford College starting July 2026.
