Welcome!
I am a Ph.D. candidate in Public Administration at Syracuse University, with field concentrations in Urban Economics and Education Policy. I study how neighborhood conditions and urban policies affect children and families, using applied microeconomics, large-scale administrative data, and spatial methods.
I will be on the 2026-27 academic job market.
