Background
I came to law school to work on economic policy in government.
After undergrad (Harvard ‘15, Economics) I was a Monitor Deloitte consultant for governments and sovereign wealth funds in the Middle East. I then joined Oscar Health, where I designed and managed a multimillion-dollar federal risk adjustment program.
I left to become a research fellow at Yale’s Tobin Center for Economic Policy. I considered a PhD in economics but ultimately chose law school to focus on making policy rather than modeling it. Immediately before law school I ran business operations for US Mobile, a venture-backed telecom startup.
At Harvard Law School I've focused on the legal architecture of economic policy: appropriations law, administrative procedure, international trade, and economic national security.
I'm a Legal Fellow at the Vanderbilt Policy Accelerator working on industrial policy, and I founded HLS Abundance, an organization bringing together law students interested in administrative reform, housing policy, infrastructure permitting, and state capacity. I also publish Enabling Acts, a newsletter aggregating recent legal research related to Abundance.
I worked at OMB in the last summer of the Biden administration and spent my 2L summer at Arnold & Porter.
My current research examines AI governance frameworks, statutory authorities for federal innovation spending, and the legal limits to commercial espionage for industrial strategy. I'm working on papers proposing a self-regulatory organization for frontier AI and analyzing the limits of other transactions for bypassing procurement regulations.
After graduation in May 2026, I'll clerk for a federal appellate court.
Beyond Work
I'm married with two young children. Parenthood has drawn me into questions about early education, developmental approaches, and housing alternatives. I’m especially interested in cohousing as an antidote to isolated nuclear family structures.
I shoot photography (primarily travel and documentary), hold a record as the youngest finisher of the MR340 (a 340-mile non-stop canoe ultramarathon across Missouri), and co-hosted a podcast on literature.
I served as an LDS missionary in the Philippines for two years and speak Tagalog. I've volunteered with youth in Boston, New York, and Manila—as tutor, mentor, debate coach, and foster parent. In law school I am working with the Children and Family Law Division of Massachusetts’ Committee for Public Counsel Services.
