Hi!

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, I conduct my research with the intent of answering 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?
