Hello! And welcome to my personal website!
I'm an economist at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, specializing (like all of us at the CFPB) in household finance. I received my Ph.D. in Economics from NYU in 2015. I do both structural and empirical work, mostly focused on mortgages and auto loans. During 2023, I am serving as the chair of the AREUEA virtual seminar series. Please feel free to reach out at: [email protected] or [email protected]. |
