I am an Assistant Professor in the Economics Department at Bentley University since Fall 2025. I received my PhD in Sustainable Development from Columbia University in 2025. I do research on environmental, health, and public economics. Google Scholar.

From 2021-2022, I served as the Climate Staff Economist at the White House Council of Economic Advisers.

I previously worked for the Institute for Strategy and Competitiveness at Harvard Business School, as a management consultant for Altman Solon, Goldman Sachs, and The Onion (America’s Finest News Source). Outside of research, I enjoy listening to jazz, procuring vintage clothing, attempting to learn French, and competitive stair climbing.
