social policy + tech

About

I’m a labor policy analyst at the Washington Center for Equitable Growth. Prior to Equitable Growth, I served as the Director of Policy at the D.C. Policy Center, a local policy research organization in the District of Columbia.

In 2016, I completed my Master’s Degree in Public Policy at the McCourt School of Public Policy at Georgetown University, focusing on domestic social and economic policy. My thesis (“When Uber Comes to Town: The Impact of Transportation Network Companies on Metropolitan Labor Markets“) looked at the impact of the gig economy on U.S. cities.

Previously, I studied the social impact of technology at the Pew Research Center. My most recent work focused on the changing role of public libraries in Americans’ lives and communities in the era of digital content; I also published reports on topics ranging from location-based services to the digital divide, and have been interviewed by the Associated Press, the New York Times, NPR, the Washington Post, and other major news outlets.
