I am a PhD candidate in Economics at Northwestern University. I work on economic history, labor economics, and the economics of gender. I am on the 2026–2027 job market.

My job market paper studies the mechanisms underlying occupational gender segregation. In closely related work, I study the impact of work-creating technological innovations on women's long-term outcomes. My research also studies intergenerational mobility and marital sorting.

Prior to graduate school, I worked as a pre-doctoral fellow at the Industrial Relations Section at Princeton University. I also hold an MA from the University of Chicago and a BA from NYU Abu Dhabi.
