About Me
I am a Ph.D. candidate in Finance at Olin Business School, Washington University in St. Louis. I study how firms adjust their strategies in response to public policy and technological change. My research uses quasi-experimental variation to examine these corporate responses and their consequences for workers and local economies.
Before coming to WashU, I studied applied mathematics and economics at UC San Diego and gained industry experience at Oracle and Microsoft.
Outside of research, I enjoy playing tennis and practicing yoga, and I am also a certified yoga instructor.
I am on the 2026-2027 Finance Job Market
