About

Hello! I am a PhD student at the University of Chicago’s Harris School of Public Policy. I am interested in questions related to racial inequality and health disparities.

After completing my undergraduate degree in Sociology also at UChicago, I worked in data science in ad measurement and finance where I learned to code and think more analytically about data. Prior to starting my PhD, I was an RA for Professor Steve Cicala at Tufts University.

My path to grad school was a nonlinear one, and if you’re in a similar position applying to PhD programs in economics or public policy, please feel free to reach out!
