I am an Assistant Professor at the Cornell Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the Department of Economics at Cornell University. My research interests are in the fields of Public, Behavioral and Development Economics. My research focuses on the role of social comparisons and economic expectations in economic decision-making, ways to improve educational outcomes in developing countries, and study the consequences of various social policies and crises (including COVID-19) on vulnerable populations. I earned my PhD in Economics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Before my PhD, I spent two years working at the Inter-American Development Bank.
