Hello! Welcome to my website.

I am a PhD candidate in Economics at the University of Toronto, specializing in Industrial Organization, with a minor in Financial Economics. My research lies at the intersection of Industrial Organization, Strategy and Business Economics, focusing on the key drivers of entrepreneurial outcomes. In my Job Market Paper, I explore the mechanisms through which mentorship shapes entrepreneurial strategy within the context of a startup accelerator.

I apply various methods, such as causal inference, structural models, and causal machine learning, and I use natural language processing (NLP) techniques and generative models to collect and analyze data.​

I will be on the 2024-25 academic job market.
