Teaches at NYC Data Science Academy

I am getting my Ph.D. at the MIT Sloan School of Management in Spring 2019. As an aspiring computational social scientist, I take advantage of modern computational tools to discover novel insights from big, messy data, with a focus on answering causal questions. My current research looks at estimating the value that social media creates for online content producers. Prior to my starting my Ph.D., I completed my master's degree in Economics at NYU.
