Hello! And welcome to my personal website!
I'm a senior economist at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Like all of us at the CFPB, I specialize in household finance. I have spent most of my time on mortgages and auto loans, but I've worked on a bunch of other topics ranging from overdraft and deposit advance products to the LIBOR transition. In my work I've been fortunate to analyze some incredibly innovative datasets, both for academic research and for policy work like rulemakings and public-facing reports. You can find some of my public work below. Please feel free to reach out at: [email protected] or [email protected]. |
