Welcome to my webpage. I am a Postdoctoral Scholar at  Stanford King Center on Global Development for the academic year 2024-25. In 2025, I will be starting as an Assistant Professor of Entrepreneurship and Education at the Department of Education, Brown University.

As an education economist, my research focuses on how individuals in underserved communities develop higher-order skills, particularly in innovation and STEM fields. I also explore the role of technology in enhancing government education systems.

I am also a visiting researcher at Aalto University and a research collaborator with the Development Innovation Lab at the University of Chicago.
