Welcome to my webpage! I am a Ph.D. candidate in Economics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. 

I will be on the 2024-25 academic job market.

As a development economist, my research covers topics in labor and health economics. I aim to evaluate tools and policies that can help overcome challenges and improve the economic and health outcomes of disadvantaged populations in the context of trade liberalization, the internet era, and environmental challenges.
