Welcome! I am an Economist with the Trade and Financial Studies Section at the Federal Reserve Board. I received a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Texas at Austin in Spring 2024.

My research interest is in Macroeconomics and Labor Economics. My work studies how imperfect information and noisy signals shape unemployment dynamics, forecast errors, and the pace of labor market recoveries. I also examine how households form expectations and how these beliefs, alongside labor market frictions, influence job search behavior and policy effectiveness.
