Hi! I'm a PhD candidate in Management Science at MIT Sloan where I'm advised by Professors Rahul Bhui and David Rand.Â
My research focuses on how information environments shape cognition including the ways we process information like news, persuasive messages, and marketing communications. With the use of computational and formal models, experiments, and large-scale data, I link cognitive processes with the environments that they operate in to better understand the (surprisingly rational) foundations for important phenomena like polarization, resistance to pro-social behavior, and consumption.
In 2024, I interned at Microsoft Research in the Computational Social Science group working on projects related to the role of media narratives in beliefs at scale.
I grew up in Phoenix, AZ, and graduated from Swarthmore College in 2019 with high honors in Economics and Political Science. I previously work as a senior research analyst at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York with economists in the Money and Payment Studies group.
