Hello!

I am a second year PhD student in the Brooks School of Public Policy at Cornell University. I am interested in using applied microeconomics to study how discrimination impacts minority groups in the labor market, through both direct and indirect pathways and how those pathways interact. I am currently working on a paper that would provide an update of Transgender status, gender identity, and socioeconomic outcomes in the United States and Economic outcomes for transgender people and other gender minorities in the United States: First estimates from a nationally representative sample using the BRFSS up to 2023 and the Household Pulse up to 2024.

I also enjoy dabbling in urban economics and urban history: as an intern at Brookings Metro I assisted Jenny Schuetz in writing blogs on climate resilience and housing, as an intern at the Council of Economic Advisers I assisted with the 2023 Economic Report of the President chapter on housing policy, as an intern at Federal Reserve of Philadelphia I assisted Allison Shertzer and Chris Severen in building longitudinal datasets related to urban economics, and as a student at UMBC, I wrote a history thesis on New Deal housing projects and then adapted it into a series of public history articles for a local newspaper.
