I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Economics at the University of Chicago. I am on the 2024-2025 academic job market.

My research focus on international trade, spatial economics, and environmental economics.

My job market paper examines how barriers to urban expansion affect economic development and mediate rural-to-urban migration.

I write scattered thoughts on cities, trade, and film.
