I graduated from Harvard College in 2010 with a degree in Social Studies, focusing on Organizational Behavior. At UCLA my research interests lie at the intersection of social psychology, behavioral economics, and JDM. In particular, I’m interested in how low-income households manage volatility and uncertainty in their financial lives.
I have a professional background applying behavioral science research in business and policy settings. I worked at BEworks, a Toronto-based consulting firm dedicated to applied behavioral economics. More recently, I worked as a consultant and researcher at the Busara Center for Behavioral Economics in Nairobi, Kenya. At Busara, I led several projects exploring how stress and uncertainty influences patterns of savings, spending, and credit decisions amongst people living in severe poverty.
