I am a PhD candidate in Economics at the University of Notre Dame. 

My primary field is Applied Microeconomics, with an emphasis on  Public and Urban Economics. My research agenda focuses on evaluating policies designed to benefit low-income tenants and reduce homelessness. In my work, I combine quasi-experimental and experimental methods with large administrative data. 

I am an NBER graduate fellow in consumer financial management and have worked on several large-scale randomized controlled trials as a research associate at the Wilson-Sheehan Lab for Economics Opportunities. My work has been supported by the Russell Sage Foundation and Notre Dame's Institute for Scholarship in the Liberal Arts. Before graduate school, I studied Economics and Political Science at Indiana University and worked for RTI International.
