I am currently a Ph.D. candidate in Economics at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

My research interests lie in development economics, with a focus on how economic shocks and public interventions shape household welfare and gender inequality in low and middle-income countries. While much of my work focuses on India, my broader research agenda seeks to examines the drivers of gender inequality across different contexts. I combine quasi-experimental methods with survey and administrative data to address policy-relevant questions. You can find more about my research here.

I am on the job market in 2026-2027.
