Hi! I’m a Ph.D. student in Operations Research at the Yale School of Management, where I’m also a Planetary Solutions Doctoral Fellow. My research explores how mathematical modeling can support a healthier planet, with a focus on biodiversity, conservation planning, and surplus food redistribution. I hold a B.S. in Mathematics from Tufts University.

In my free time, I enjoy charcoal drawing, reading literary fiction and essays (a list of favorites), watching old Soviet films, and feeling the unnecessary stress of supporting both Chelsea FC and my hometown Boston Celtics.
