I'm a Kleinheinz Fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution where I am a member of the State and Local Governance Initiative and the Working Group on Civics and American Citizenship.
I work on topics across public, labor, and health economics, often forming research partnerships with government agencies to improve public services and gain insight into social behavior.Â
I'm also a J-PAL North America Invited Researcher, a Research Affiliate at the Institute of Labor Economics (IZA), an Affiliated Scholar with the Deliberative Democracy Lab at Stanford's Center on Democracy, Development and the Rule of Law (CDDRL), a Member of the Haas Center for Public Service's Faculty Steering Committee, and an Advisor to the Stanford Democracy Hub.
I serve as Vice Chair on the California Governor's Council of Economic Advisors (GCEA).
