About me
I am a rising fourth year Ph.D. student at the University of California, Davis interested in Behavioral, Development, and Public Economics. After graduating with a BA in Economics and Psychology from Vassar College in 2019, I worked as a Research Associate at the San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank for two years, on projects ranging from international finance and banking to development.
​
My current research is focused on better understanding the nature of work and its role in improving mental health. My current advisors are Anujit Chakraborty and Arman Rezaee.

A furry friend
In December of 2023, I welcomed Toad the polydactyl cat into my life as a research companion. Despite her small size, she has a larger-than-life personality and particular proclivity for mischief. Her favorite activities include asking for more food when her bowl is not even half empty, chewing on monitor cables when I am not looking, and falling asleep purring on my chest. For more Toad, see the Toad the Cat.
