I'm a Ph.D. Candidate in Applied Economics at Cornell University.

I work at the intersection of development and health economics, using experimental and quasi-experimental methods to help answer three broad questions:

1. How can governments design social protection programs, particularly those aimed at women, to maximize gains in child health and welfare?

2. How can development partners leverage advances in data availability and data science to better target social programs?

3. How do violent conflict and political instability affect economic behavior, and how can aid be used most effectively in fragile and conflict-affected economies? 

I will be visiting Oxford University and the Center for the Study of African Economies in Spring 2024.

In September, I will join the Rutgers Economics Department as an Assistant Professor.
