I’m a research economist at the US Census Bureau in the Center for Economic Studies. I received my PhD from the UC Berkeley Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics in 2021. 

My research focuses on questions that connect urban economics, environmental justice, and political economy. You can find my full CV here and the current draft of my job market paper, Does Building New Housing Cause Displacement?: The Supply and Demand Effects of Construction in San Francisco, here.

I’m always happy to talk to current PhD students about research and career paths — don’t hesitate to reach out.
