J.D./Ph.D. Student, University of California, Berkeley

Hello!

I am a fourth-year Ph.D. student in the Jurisprudence & Social Policy Program at UC Berkeley and a 2L at Berkeley Law. I'm interested in health, welfare, and tax law and policy, and how race- and gender-based discrimination have shaped the American welfare state. I graduated from Yale College in 2018, and between college and graduate school I worked as a health policy researcher at the University of Pennsylvania, an Iowa caucus organizer for Elizabeth Warren's presidential campaign, and an elections data scientist at BallotReady. 

In my free time, I enjoy reading mystery novels, cooking, swimming, and exploring the Bay Area.
