I am a Researcher at Rethink Priorities, working mostly on cross-cause prioritization and worldview investigations. I am passionate about farmed animal welfare, global development, and economic growth/​progress studies. Previously, I worked in U.S. budget and tax policy as a policy analyst for the Progressive Policy Institute. I earned a B.S. in Statistics from the University of Chicago, where I volunteered as a co-facilitator for UChicago EA’s Introductory Fellowship.
