PhD Candidate

About

Biography

I am a Ph.D. candidate and a graduate teaching instructor in the Department of Economics at CSU. I am on the job market for 2024-25.

My research is in the fields of political economy and international economics with a focus on labor exploitation and financial subordination in Global Value Chains. My interests extend to research on capitalist development in India and feminist understandings of household work.

I have teaching experience, as the primary instructor on record, in introductory courses on microeconomics, econometrics, and feminist economics.

In my free time, I enjoy reading literature, taking walks, drinking beverages, and exploring cities.
