Welcome to my website!

I am an Economist (Economist Program 2026) at the International Monetary Fund (IMF). 

All views expressed on this site are my own and do not necessarily reflect the position of the IMF, its Executive Board, or IMF management.

I hold a PhD in Economics from Boston College. My current work focuses on firm behavior, household finance, resource misallocation, and productivity. 

I have also gained policy and research experience as a Dissertation Fellow at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago (Summer 2025), a PhD Intern at the International Monetary Fund (Summer 2024), and a Research Assistant at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston (2017-2020).
