I am a sixth year PhD candidate in Economics at the University of California, Berkeley (go bears). ✨

My research interests lie in Public and Behavioral Economics. My job market paper studies the impact of reduced pension benefit and increased retirement flexibility on the employer's ability to retain workers. My other research focuses on the distributional impacts on tax-preferred property inheritances and behavioral welfare measures.

Outside of research, I like to doodle.
