Welcome!

I am a fourth-year Economics Ph.D. candidate at University of California San Diego. Prior to UC San Diego, I earned an M.A. in Economics at Central European University.

My primary fields are experimental economics and behavioral economics. In particular, I use laboratory experiments to study how people learn by observing others’ choices. I also work on topics related to student mental health by running studies in the field. I am fortunate to be co-advised by Emanuel Vespa and Isabel Trevino.
