Bio

My research focuses on economic mobility and housing with a experience in building public data infrastructure, direct cash transfers, and community ownership of rental housing. I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a Master’s degree in City Planning and a Master's degree in Urban Spatial Analytics. Prior to that I primarily worked on issues related to civic participation at organizations in Bangladesh, Baltimore, and Cleveland. I love maps, being outside, and spending time with my two cats.
