About Me
Welcome! I am a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Chicago Department of Economics. My research is broadly concerned with economic growth in developing countries, using tools from macroeconomics, trade, and finance. I am particularly interested in how intermediation in trade and financial markets affects the organization of firms, supply chains, and production.
I am a visiting scholar at the Columbia Business School from September 2023 to June 2024 and was a visiting scholar at MIT from January to May 2023. I will be on the job market during the 2024-2025 academic year.
