About me

I am an economist and Assistant Professor of Oceans at the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability, where I lead the Ocean Policy Lab, and a Center Fellow at Stanford’s Center on Food Security and the Environment. My research is in natural resource economics, with a particular focus on the ocean.

I received my PhD in economics from Harvard University in 2026, where I was a NOAA-Sea Grant Fellow in Marine Resource Economics and a doctoral student fellow of the Harvard Environmental Economics Program.
