My research lies at the intersection of marketing and politics. Using experiments, natural language processing tools, and conjoint studies, I examine questions such as: what psychological barriers prevent people from consuming political information that contradicts their prior beliefs? What are the factors that predict consumers' desire to censor online content? How has the rise of extreme political candidates changed the political marketing space, and how are consumers reacting to such changes? At Stanford, I was chosen to be a member of the inaugural cohort of the Knight-Hennessy Scholarship. I was also awarded the Diversifying Academia Recruiting Excellence (DARE) Fellowship. Before Stanford, I worked in economic consulting at Analysis Group and studied economics and mathematics at Middlebury College.
