About Me

I am a Research Economist at the Bureau of Labor Statistics. My work at the BLS centers around poverty, inequality, and consumption. Currently, I am working on projects related to the creation of a comprehensive consumption measure, evaluating the impacts of the expanded Child Tax Credit, and analyzing the Supplemental Poverty Measure thresholds. I also have interests in behavioral economics and survey design.
