Center for Applied AI, Chicago Booth.

Welcome to my corner of the internet. I am an incoming PhD student in Economics at Harvard. I'm grateful to be supported by the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship.

Before my PhD, I was a predoctoral research fellow at the Center for Applied AI at Chicago Booth. I also worked on product development at truthsystems, on the payments team at Amazon, and in investing at Bridgewater Associates. I'm originally from the Bay Area, and I graduated from Harvard College in 2024, where I studied Applied Math and Global Health and Health Policy.
