I am a PhD candidate in the economics department at the University of California, Santa Barbara. My research fields are labor economics and applied microeconomics. Specifically, I am interested in economics of education and health economics.

My current research examines the impact of parental leave on intra-household decision-making and children’s later life outcomes. My previous work focused on estimating the labor market gains from accessing higher quality postsecondary education for the academically marginal student.
