I am an Assistant Teaching Professor at the College of Professional Studies at Northeastern University.

My research examines how economic vulnerability and institutional constraints shape household decisions about work, education, and human capital investment, and how policies can improve opportunities and well-being in low-income settings.

My research spans two closely connected areas:

• Human capital and labor markets: How economic shocks, labor market opportunities, and education policies affect children’s work, schooling, and well-being.
• Risk, information, and incentives: How households manage risk and uncertainty, and how insurance, information, and incentive structures influence economic decisions and welfare.
