I am a Ph.D. candidate (defended May 14, 2026) in Economics at the University of Minnesota, completing my degree in 2026. My research is in macroeconomics, with a focus on firm dynamics, market power, and the macroeconomic consequences of imperfect competition. 

Alongside my research, I have nine years of university-level teaching experience, including roles as a Lecturer at the Carlson School of Management and Instructor of Record for Principles of Microeconomics. Beyond academia, I have led community and organizational initiatives focusing on identifying unmet needs and building durable, practical solutions.

Outside of work, I enjoy running, dancing, sketching, and reading. I am also hoping to learn drumming and French — two new challenges that reflect my interest in rhythm, movement, and connecting with people across cultures.
