Welcome!
I will be an Assistant Professor of Economics at Villanova University starting this fall. I am currently a Visiting Assistant Professor at Haverford College and previously a Research Economist at the U.S. Treasury Office of Financial Research.
My research examines how credit market frictions and regulatory interventions shape the transmission of financial shocks to the real economy. I study how changes in creditor rights, liquidity regulation, and corporate debt demand influence the cost of capital and the composition of credit across banks and firms. Using microdata embedded in structural models, I quantify how these mechanisms reallocate capital across institutions and sectors, linking individual balance-sheet decisions to aggregate credit supply, asset prices, and macroeconomic stability.
I earned a joint PhD in Economics and Finance from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Prior to graduate school, I worked as a Research Analyst at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and received a B.S. in Economics from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.
