I'm a PhD student at the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley. Previously, I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a BA in psychology and philosophy, politics, & economics.

 

I study consumer judgment and decision making. My research investigates the processes underlying valuation and preference formation, and I’m especially interested in understanding how consumers respond to quantitative information. For example, I ask questions like: Do consumers rely on different types of valuation in different contexts? When and why do consumers’ preferences reflect what they believe they should do as opposed to what they personally want to do? Are people more sensitive to numeric magnitude in some contexts than others?

 

I'll be on the 2025–2026 academic job market.
