About Me

I am a PhD student at Harvard’s Business Economics PhD Program. I completed my undergraduate studies at Vanderbilt University and was a research assistant in the Vanderbilt LGBTQ+ Policy Lab. I am an alum of the AEA Summer Program and the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago.

I study health economics and economic history, with a focus on LGBTQ populations and inequality. My research has specifically examined health risk and access disparities, youth homelessness, intergenerational mobility, and the effects of health policies on same-sex households. More recently, I’ve been working on projects related to interracial marriage in historical settings in the United States.
