Research & Insights
At different stages of my academic and professional life, I've had the opportunities to dive deeper into problems that interest me, understand the literature, 'crack' the problem, and come up with an idea for a potential solution. My work evolved over the years but I recall each of the below pieces fondly. The work below, listed chronologically, showcases my writings when I started out studying Economics & Mathematics at Macalester College, to my first job at the Jordan Strategy Forum, then a stint in independent consulting work, my masters thesis at Harvard Kennedy School, to my current role at the Ideation Center at Strategy&. If you'd like to discuss any of these papers, please feel free to reach out to me and slot a time for us to talk!
