I was exposed to Economics and research the summer after my freshman year, when I interned for a Nobel Prize winning economist. That experience peaked my interest in economics research, which encompasses a broad range of topics.
I graduated from UMBC in 2019, then
moved on to Harvard University as a post-baccalaureate research scholar in economics later that summer. At Harvard, I assisted on a project that applied machine learning to bolster the empirical techniques we used to uncover potential impacts and causal effects.
