Hey!
I am a (finishing) second-year Econ PhD at the Vancouver School of Economics, UBC.
I work on a computational political economy of values — using NLP, causal inference, and dynamical-systems methods to study how moral norms emerge, contest each other, and shape policy.
Before UBC I was a SIEPR Predoctoral Fellow at Stanford working with Guido Imbens, and before that, ITAM in Mexico City, where I was trained as both a lawyer and an economist.
