I am a second year PhD student in economics at Stanford University. I am a Knight Hennessy Scholar and a NSF Graduate Research Fellow. I am also a Stripe Economics of AI fellow.

I am interested in labor, behavioral, and experimental economics. I am especially interested in questions related to technology adoption, artificial intelligence and the future of work, gender, entrepreneurship, and productivity.
