About

More than a résumé

A junior at Indiana University's Kelley School of Business, triple-majoring in Economic Consulting, Business Analytics, and Sustainable Business. Focused on ESG, economics, policy, and business strategy.

Currently embedded with the founding team at Cribdata in Barcelona, working directly with the founder on strategy, market identification, and building an agentic lead generation system. Also serving as VP of Consulting at Nitara. Previously led Lighthouse Advisory, a cross-university pro bono consulting group. Conducting independent research applying industrial organization frameworks to Airbnb's entry into local accommodation markets. Synthesizing peer-reviewed empirical literature to examine how asset-light platform entry disciplines oligopolistic hotel pricing and generates consumer welfare gains.

Founder of Do More Run Club at IU. Completed 3.5 marathons in one year including the LA Marathon. Volunteered at Nations Ministry Center in Nashville since 2022, returning every school break to tutor and mentor children from underserved communities.

The thread across all of it is a simple mission: help build a world where businesses create lasting impact alongside strong returns. That means better decisions, more honest risk pricing, and firms that leave things better than they found them. Both my parents are physicians. Growing up watching them dedicate their lives to making people better shaped how I approach work. The goal is the same, just at the scale of institutions and policy.

Working paper

The Airbnb Effect

An industrial organization analysis of Airbnb's entry into local accommodation markets. Synthesizes empirical evidence from peer-reviewed literature to examine whether platform-enabled supply disrupted incumbent hotel pricing power and generated consumer welfare gains. Draws on Zervas et al. (2017) and Farronato and Fradkin (2022, AER) to build an evidence-based argument about how asset-light platform entry can discipline oligopolistic pricing without regulatory intervention.

Framework Industrial Organization
Approach Evidence synthesis across peer-reviewed literature
Cases Barcelona and New York
Status Working paper

Core argument

"By aggregating existing residential inventory rather than constructing dedicated supply, Airbnb eliminated the capital barrier that had historically insulated hotel incumbents from meaningful competition."
