I am a Ph.D. candidate in economics and environmental science at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

My research investigates how environmental change and policies shape and are shaped by patterns of social and economic inequalities. My recent projects have focused on quantifying the distributional outcomes of water scarcity and regulation in California.

I will be on the job market in AY 2024-2025.
