Professional Experience:
I am a policy and economic research professional with a strong interdisciplinary background in international trade, regulatory policy, and political economy, supported by applied research experience with leading think tanks and policy institutions in the United States. My work focuses on understanding how trade policy, institutional design, and regulatory frameworks shape economic outcomes across countries and sectors.
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Management and Business from Skidmore College, where I concentrated on international economics, sustainable finance, and business strategy, complemented by a minor in computer science. My academic training combined qualitative policy analysis with applied quantitative tools, including financial modeling, economic indicators, and data-driven research methods. I earned placement on the Dean’s Honor List in my final year, reflecting strong academic performance following a focused realignment of my academic interests toward economics and public policy.
Professionally, I have conducted applied policy research at the American Institute for Economic Research (AIER), where I authored and presented an original research paper analyzing the economic and consumer impacts of USTR Section 301 fees on foreign-built vessels. This work involved empirical analysis using Stata and Excel, review of regulatory dockets, and translation of technical findings into policy-relevant outputs for non-academic audiences. I also supported the production of policy briefs and research visualizations intended for policymakers and external stakeholders.
Previously, I worked with the World Shipping Council (WSC) in Washington, D.C., where I tracked U.S. congressional and regulatory developments related to maritime policy, trade, and ESG compliance. I attended and reported on Senate hearings, analyzed trade-related regulations, and contributed to internal strategy briefs in coordination with international teams in Brussels, Singapore, and London. This experience deepened my understanding of the intersection between trade policy, global supply chains, and institutional governance.
I have also completed graduate-level training in economics and public policy through The Fund for American Studies at George Mason University, with a focus on public choice theory, fiscal reform, and institutional incentives. In January 2026, I will begin an incoming research internship at the Cato Institute’s Center for Trade Policy Studies, where I will contribute to research on trade regulation, tariffs, and global economic integration.
I am particularly interested in roles that combine policy research, international economics, and institutional analysis, and I seek to contribute to organizations working on trade governance, economic development, and regulatory reform in global and cross-national contexts.
