Hi! I am a Ph.D. candidate in economics at Carnegie Mellon University, Tepper School of Business. I will be available for interviews at ASSA 2023 annual meeting.

My main research interests are Game Theory, Information Economics, and Mechanism Design. My secondary research interest is Industrial Organization.

My job market paper studies intermediated communication along hierarchies through the lens of Bayesian persuasion and underscores the importance of vice presidents to deter communication failure in hierarchical organizations.
