I am a third-year PhD student in the Department of Economics at the University of Washington, working with Rachel Heath (chair), Alan Griffith, Isabelle Cohen, and André Punt. My research is in development economics, with a focus on how technology, information, and educational institutions shape human capital formation in underserved communities.
My current research, the SHERPA Project (Solukhumbu Himalayan Education & Research on Pathways and Assessment), studies the effect of NGO-installed school computer labs on student learning in rural Nepal. I conducted fieldwork in Solukhumbu in March 2026.
I am also pursuing a Graduate Certificate in Ethics at UW. Outside of my dissertation, I have worked as an applied policy consultant with Delphy AgAdvisory, as a research assistant on wage-and-hour litigation with Northwest Economics LLC in Seattle, and as an undergraduate research assistant in subjective well-being measurement at CU Boulder.
I received my BA in Economics (Magna Cum Laude) and Mathematics from the University of Colorado Boulder. Outside of academics, I enjoy reading, writing, gardening, and spending time with friends, family, and dogs.
