About Me
I’m an applied economist with a PhD in Applied Economics from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. My research lies at the intersection of public policy and international development, with particular interests in political economy, digital development, and household finance.
I currently serve as a Regulatory Economist in the Payments Policy Department at the Reserve Bank of Australia, where I work on payments system regulation, competition, and efficiency. My role focuses on evaluating how policy design, market structure, and pricing frameworks affect consumers, businesses, and financial institutions, and on shaping evidence-based reforms to improve outcomes across Australia’s payments ecosystem.
Previously, I was a Policy Data Scientist at the JPMorganChase Institute, the firm’s in-house research center, where I leveraged large-scale proprietary banking data to produce policy-relevant insights for government, regulators, and business leaders.
