​Welcome! I am an Assistant Professor at Pomona College in the Economics department.

My research focuses on energy/environmental economics and industrial organization. I am interested in energy policy, utility regulation and market power issues. 

I completed my PhD in Agricultural & Resources Economics at UC Berkeley in 2024. Previously, I was an Economic Fellow at the Institute for Policy Integrity at NYU School of Law.
