I am a postdoctoral fellow at the IIES. In 2022 I will join the Chicago FED as a research economist. I received my PhD from the University of Chicago in 2021.
In my research, I use micro-data to estimate macroeconomic models and derive policy implications. My research interests are in macroeconomics, labor economics, development, and public finance.
