About Me
I'm a Tobin Pre-Doctoral Fellow placed in The Budget Lab at Yale University, where I develop and maintain microsimulation models estimating the revenue, distributional, and macroeconomic effects of federal tax and transfer policy proposals for congressional and public use.
I graduated from the University of Georgia as a Foundation Fellow with an A.B. in Economics and Political Science (Phi Beta Kappa, Magna Cum Laude), along with a Certificate in Applied Politics and minors in English and International Affairs. My work sits at the intersection of applied economics, public policy, and data science, and spans research assistantships, government internships, and policy fellowships — from studying AI's effects on litigation and labor markets to analyzing foreign disinformation campaigns and drafting state legislation.
