Hola! I am a sixth-year PhD student in economics at UC Berkeley, and a research affiliate at ConsiliumBots.

I am an applied and empirical microeconomic researcher. I am interested in understanding how to craft effective public policy. Much of my research is related to school choice.

I also like mountains.
