About

I am pursuing my Ph.D. in Financial Economics at Yale University. I received my J.D. from Yale Law School in 2021 and graduated summa cum laude with a B.A. in Economics from Princeton University in 2017. My research focuses on antitrust, contracts and business organizations.

I will be joining Duke Law School as an Assistant Professor in July 2025.
