About Me

Welcome!

I am a Visiting Assistant Professor at Haverford College and previously a Research Economist at the U.S. Treasury Office of Financial Research.

My research focuses on how credit market frictions and regulatory changes shape the cost of capital, capital structure, and firm dynamics of both financial and non-financial firms. Using microdata and structural models, I quantify how shifts in creditor rights, liquidity risk, and demand for corporate debt reallocate credit across institutions and projects and the implications for efficiency.

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.
