I am a PhD candidate in International Development at the University of Oxford. My research interests centre on labour, migration, and firms in developing countries. 

I am on the 2025-2026 job market.

In my doctoral research, I investigate (i) whether hiring a mix of migrant and local workers mitigates the costs of turnover and absenteeism for manufacturing firms; (ii) how peer effects shape the productivity and tenure of female migrant workers; (iii) why internal migration rates remain low in India despite the substantial spatial disparities in opportunities and living standards. I have utilised diverse data sources including panel studies, administrative records, experimental methods and semi-structured interviews.

Alongside my studies, I have worked with various organisations including the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank, the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative, the Young Lives study at the University of Oxford, and the Centre for the Economics of Human Development at the University of Chicago. 

I have obtained an MPhil in Development Studies (with distinction) at the University of Oxford, and a BA in Economics and a BSc in Statistics (magna cum laude) from the University of Chicago. 

My doctoral research is generously funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, the Saven European Scholarship and the Scatcherd European Scholarship.
