I'm currently a Rhodes Scholar studying the MPhil in Economics at Oxford. I graduated from Harvard in May 2021 with a degree in history and economics. I grew up in Tustin, California, and was born in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
My writing and research have been featured in The New York Times, The Boston Globe, The Boston Globe x The Emancipator, the IMF Working Paper Series, and the MIT Technology Review.
My poetry and artwork have been featured in the White House, the Kennedy Center, the Kenyon Review, and the Tupelo Quarterly.
