What's up guys, gals, and non-binary pals!

I am the Communications Manager and a Research Fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics (PIIE) in Washington, DC, where I host the video podcast PIIE Insider LIVE. I was the 2025 Head Delegate of the USA delegation to the Y20 in South Africa. 

I completed a Masters of Advanced Studies in International Affairs at the University of California, San Diego in June 2024. I was also the 2023 Economics Expert in the Young Professionals in Foreign Policy Rising Experts program. 

As a Chronically Online individual, I have too much knowledge of the memes du jour, but I'm also exposed to some of the most interesting & important global topics du jour. I take particular interest in economic security and geopolitcal alignments. Regionally, I focus on Southeast Asia. 

You can find my most current and visible work at the PIIE Twitter & other social media accounts. And subscribe to PIIE Insider LIVE on YouTube or wherever you get podcasts. I am also an exclusive weekly column in PIIE's flagship newsletter PIIE Insider, where I discuss current economic events. You can subscribe to that here.
