Hello!

I’m a third year Ph.D. student in economics and a 2021-2025 Madison and Lila Self Graduate Fellow at the University of Kansas.

For my doctoral research, I am interested in gender, health, and labor economics. Outside of research, I am passionate about demystifying and diversifying the field of economics. Upon finishing my Ph.D., I hope to enter academia and continue researching and teaching.

Outside of academia, I enjoy reading romance novels, volunteering at the library, and advocating for causes I’m passionate about.
