I am a second-year law student at Yale Law School and a second-year economics PhD candidate at Harvard University. ​

 

I graduated from Harvard College with a degree in history and economics, and received my M.Phil in economics at Oxford University on the Rhodes Scholarship. 

​

My current research focuses on tax and property law, and I create large archival datasets to study questions about law and economic history. Feel free to email me if you'd like to chat about poetry or research! ​
