Thank you for visiting! This is a page for some of my policy interests. I am excited about economic and foreign policy, especially around industrial policy, geoeconomic fragmentation, and financial regulation.
I was previously a Consultant with the Atlantic Council’s GeoEconomics Center. Before that, I was lucky to learn from outstanding teams at the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, Bipartisan Policy Center, Boston Consulting Group, and Qualtrics.
I am based in the Pacific Northwest, where I serve on Seattle’s Community Technology Advisory Board and Board of Parks & Recreation Commissioners. I have also been involved with the Pacific Chapter of the American Association for Public Opinion Research (read: I’m a polling nerd) as conference chair, associate conference chair, and student representative.

Other recent work areas
I contributed research to the Atlantic Council’s work on the consequences of a US default, Chinese financial stability, central banks’ wartime role, economic implications of conflicts in the Middle East, and the accuracy of recession forecasts.
When I was a university student, I was Editor in Chief of the Jackson School Journal of International Studies. Apart from publishing academic papers, I interviewed Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch and then-HASC Chair Adam Smith for the Journal’s insights section.
