Education
I was born in far west suburb of Chicago called Naperville, but have since lived in Chapel Hill, North Carolina (Grades K-2), Madison, Wisconsin (Grades 3-10), Austin, Texas (Grades 11-12), and Nanjing, China where I lived for 10 months while studying Chinese on a scholarship program called the National Security Language Initiative for Youth Scholarship.
I pursued undergraduate studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where I majored in Economics and Chinese. While in college, I lived in Tianjin, China for a summer, and later in Shanghai, China for a semester thanks to scholarship funds provided by the Boren Scholars program.
Career
I currently live in the Washington, D.C. area where I am a Financial Analyst in the Systemic Financial Institutions and Markets Section of the Division of Research and Statistics at the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. My current job responsibilities involve producing and maintaining empirical data on the activities of nonbank financial institutions, with a particular emphasis on how the tranmission of shocks to certain financial markets or runs by institutional investors could potentially propagate financial distress from the financial sector to the real economy.
