I am a Researcher at Nesta's "A Healthy Life" mission based in London.

I received my PhD in Economics from Northwestern University in 2025. My research interest lies at the intersection of development economics and political economy.

I previously worked at Development Data Lab as a research associate. I received my Bachelor's degree in Economics and Mathematical Science from Colby College in 2017.
