I am a Research Assistant at the Institute for Justice and a graduate student in the Data Analytics and Policy program at Johns Hopkins University. At IJ, my research primarily focuses on civil forfeiture, as well as barbering and cosmetology regulations. My work allows me to explore how laws and public policies shape individual opportunity and economic mobility. At Johns Hopkins, my studies include voter behavior and voter turnout.
I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where I studied economics and public policy.
My professional experience spans healthcare, public policy, nonprofit work, and education. These roles have exposed me to different institutions, communities, and approaches to complex problems, giving me a range of perspectives that continues to shape how I think about data, research, and policy.
