Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics at the University of California, Irvine and a Faculty Research Fellow at the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), a Research Affiliate at the Center for Economic Policy Research (CEPR), and a Faculty Affiliate at the Center for Effective Global Action (CEGA).
An applied microeconomist working at the intersection of economic history, labor, health, development, and economic demography. Her work falls into two main threads: one looking at early-life conditions, human capital formation, and cohort health; and another focused on migration as a mechanism through which individuals adjust to and propagate localized shocks.
