I am a quantitative researcher and data analyst working at the intersection of economics, education, and data science. I graduated from the University of Richmond with a B.S. in Mathematical Economics (Honors) and Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, where I was honored as a Richmond Scholar and the Commencement Speaker. I now work at the University of Richmond on institutional research projects involving student retention, progression, enrollment, and academic pathways, using statistical modeling, econometrics, machine learning, and large administrative datasets.
My broader interests center on educational inequality, college access, and the use of quantitative methods to understand and improve student outcomes. I am also the founder of RumoNext, a platform for Brazilian students and schools designed around academic planning, college applications, and data-informed college-access interventions. My research and professional experience has also included work at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago and UCLA, along with training through the University of Chicago, Brookings Institution, and Stanford University.
