Bio

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Economics at Vanderbilt University where I serve as a research affiliate with the Center for Research on Inequality & Health and the LGBTQ+ Policy Lab. My work utilizes quasi-experimental methods to examine how discrimination, information, and policy affect individuals’ labor market outcomes, health and household investment decisions.

I am on the 2024-2025 job market! You can find a draft of my job market paper online or download it directly from my Github page.
