About
I am a second year Ph.D. student at the University of Pennsylvania. My research interests include the use of applied microeconometric methods and randomized controlled trials to investigate the impact of high-impact tutoring, mentorship programs, and financial aid on student success. Previously, I worked as a Research Data Analyst at the Stanford Graduate School of Education.
For the complete details of my academic and professional careers, please see the Curriculum Vitae below.
When I'm not cleaning data sets or running regressions, I am a competitive ultramarathon runner at the 50km, 100km, and 100 mile distances. This hobby-turned-lifestyle has led me to some of the most remote places on the map, and has given me the opportunity to make many new and lasting friends.
