About me

Welcome to my website! I am a 3rd year Phd student in Economics at Boston University. I am interested in development economics, political economy, and domestic trade. My current research focuses on the effect of corruption on firms in India and affordable housing in Massachusetts.

Previously, I was a Senior Research and Training Associate at J-PAL, Global.
