I am an Associate at Cornerstone Research in Chicago. I received a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Chicago in 2025.

My job market paper studies worker mobility between formal and informal sector jobs in the garment industry in Bangladesh.

More broadly, my research focuses on topics at the intersection of labor, health, and development economics. I study how people and households make decisions over work and health in the face of market frictions.
