I am a research scientist in the Economics and Policy Research group at Meta.

Previously, I was a postdoctoral fellow in the Democracy and Polarization Lab at Stanford University. I completed a Ph.D. in economics at Northwestern University. My academic research focuses on political economy, Congress, campaign finance, and the effects of the economy on political outcomes.
