My first book, "Delinquent: Inside America’s Debt Machine," is being published by University of California Press in October 2022. As a principal at Omidyar Network, a philanthropy and social change venture, I work with grantees and partners on our Corporations, Capital Markets, and the Common Good agenda.
My writing and research is informed by my background in the financial sector. At Capital One, I was a Senior Business Manager in the credit card division and taught credit risk management. I’m interested in how consumers navigate a challenging economy and how that affects their retirement prospects— I’ve interviewed people across the country about how they make financial decisions. I know the financial system can either help American families build wealth and achieve stability, or undermine a family’s hard-earned progress. I graduated from Duke University, where I studied math and economics. I now live in Washington, D.C.
