Research Interest: I first became interested in economics and public policy during my independent research on the opioid epidemic when I came across the work of Anne Case, a professor at Princeton. Case’s pioneering research on “deaths of despair” and recent increases in morbidity pushed me to explore health economics. From here, I began exploring what plausible policy solutions there are to address/alleviate this epidemic. I am now interested in further exploring public policy and how it can affect financial markets in particular.

Hobbies: I love art and graphic design!
