I am currently a PhD Candidate in Agricultural & Applied Economics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I’m interested broadly in development & behavioral economics, industrial organization, and applied econometrics.

Previously, I worked as the Data Manager for the Dakar Urban Sanitation project with Innovations for Poverty Action.
