About
I am a Senior Research Analyst at the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University, focusing on the intersection of housing and inequality. My research areas include demographic change, residential mobility, wealth distribution, energy insecurity, and homelessness. My work has been highlighted in media outlets such as the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Fortune, the Atlantic, and the BBC. Prior to joining Harvard, I held positions at the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, Smart Growth America, and the think tank Minnesota 2020. I earned my PhD in Public Administration from American University, where I also received my Master’s in Public Policy. Prior to my graduate degrees, I earned a Bachelor’s in Philosophy from Connecticut College.
