I am an Assistant Professor of Economics at Barnard College of Columbia University. I received my PhD in Economics from MIT in May 2025. 

I am a Special Sworn Status researcher via the Census Bureau, and an affiliate of the Columbia Population Research Center. My research has been supported by the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship Program. Previously, I was a Senior Research Analyst at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in the Financial Intermediation division. I received my BA from Dartmouth College in 2017 in Economics and Mathematics.

Primary field: International Macroeconomics. 

Secondary fields: Trade, Macroeconomics.

My research focuses on frictions that shape how international cost shocks (i.e. exchange rates, tariffs) affect the macroeconomy.
