I am a Ph.D. Candidate in Agricultural and Resource Economics at UC Davis.
I am on the 2025-2026 academic job market.
I am an environmental economist working at the intersection of environmental policy, health and agriculture. I am interested in understanding the role regulation plays at curbing our exposure to emerging contaminants of interest in water as well as behavioral responses to environmental shocks.
My dissertation work evaluates the impact of state-level PFAS drinking water regulation and its effect on water quality and behavioral responses. I highlight the importance of appropriately dealing with interval-censored data for policy evaluation to avoid misleading results and propose a method that overcomes this challenge. Additionally, I am using machine learning to predict where PFAS contamination may occur. I also have work estimating infant health impacts from wildfire smoke particulate matter.
Before joining UC Davis, I was a predoc at the Climate Impact Lab at The University of Chicago, I received my M.A. in Economics at The University of Texas at Austin and my B.A. in Economics at ITAM.
