Amherst College 2029 Economics and Statistics
I am an Amherst College student studying Economics and Statistics, with interests in investment research, quantitative analysis, and decision-making under uncertainty. My work ranges from evaluating businesses and their valuations to designing experiments on how consumers assess financial risk. I am particularly interested in developing conclusions that are grounded in evidence rather than intuition alone.
Outside the classroom, I enjoy classical history, Football Manager, and Fantasy Premier League. Editing educational history videos and commentating live esports have given me different ways to practice making complex subjects engaging and understandable.
Investment research
October 2026
Analyzed copper supply and demand, Freeport’s operating recovery, cash generation, and valuation. Despite an attractive long-term industry outlook, I recommended keeping FCX on a watchlist at the $69.54 reference price, given the earnings recovery already implied by its valuation and the company's capital requirements. The PDF includes an update following third-quarter earnings.
Data analysis
October 2026
Analyzed 22 days of timestamped calendar records to examine variation in homework, paid work, and a defined recreation activity. Built a reproducible R workflow for importing, classifying, summarizing, and visualizing time-use data, with a discussion of measurement limitations and an appendix containing the analysis code.
Experimental research
Summer 2026
Designed and preregistered a randomized experiment with nine decision tasks and 384 systematically varied product listings. Used Qualtrics and conditional logistic regression in Stata to compare consumer decisions with an expert benchmark, finding that consumers were substantially less averse to off-platform transaction requests.
