I am a Ph.D. student at the University of California, Berkeley in Agricultural and Resource Economics, studying environmental economics and industrial organization. I am interested in the relationship between environmental policy, individuals’ economic outcomes, and firm behavior, particularly in the context of the ongoing clean energy transition. Before coming to UC Berkeley, I earned my B.S. in economics at George Mason University and worked for three years at the Federal Reserve Board of Governors.
When I am not working on research, I enjoy reading fiction, cheering for Philadelphia sports teams, and hiking.
