About Me

I am a current doctoral student in Policy Analysis and Management at Cornell University where I am concentrating in economics with a minor in data science. I am passionate about ensuring all students have access to a high-quality education. Being aware of the equity gaps that exist across the United States, I am working on projects examining policies aimed at improving educational opportunities by focusing on the mental health students, as well as on the connection of education and labor market outcomes through access to high school magnet and career/technical programs and more affordable/non-traditional higher education.

In order to answer these difficult questions, I employ a variety of methodological tools from econometrics to natural language processing and machine learning. I love learning new programming languages and packages, not only because they are a fun challenge, but also because I believe they are an essential stepping stone to creating research informed policy solutions.
