About

I am a 6th year PhD student in the Applied Economics program at Wharton. I work on issues in public and normative economics. My job market paper evaluates rationales for income-dependent speeding fines using Finnish administrative data and a survey. Prior to my PhD, I worked on issues in household finance as a research assistant at the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia.

I am on the 2025-2026 job market and available for interviews.
