I am currently a Pre-doctoral Research Fellow at the National Bureau of Economic Research, where I work with Heidi Williams. In Fall 2024, I will be starting my Ph.D. in Economics at Stanford University. My research interests are in the economics of science and innovation, machine learning, and public policy. I received a B.S. in Public Policy from Cornell University's Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy in 2022.
