About Me
Both intellectually and professionally, I am drawn to work that grapples with complexity and draws on interdisciplinary practices to solve problems where institutional design has tangible human consequences. I am especially interested in public service work that connects rigorous analysis with practical, human-centered implementation.
I earned a Bachelor of Science in Economics with a minor in Planning, Public Policy and Management from the University of Oregon, and I am continuing as a graduate student in both the Master of Applied Economics and Master of Public Administration programs.
Outside of school and work, I enjoy spending time in nature and exploring the Pacific Northwest. That connection to place influences the calm, organized, and practical style I bring to projects.
