Bio/CV: 

I’m Elia and I’m originally from Los Angeles, CA. I am currently pursuing my degree in data science and economics, with a minor in public policy to tie the two fields together. My main career objective is to use quantitative methods/data analysis and economic theory to improve the efficacy of current government policies/programs as well as to create new ones. Although I am more than happy to dive into anything that involves policy and data, I’m particularly interested in housing in California, regional economic development, and sustainable government practices.

Outside of academics, my hobbies include painting, squirrel-sighting, writing, and running.

Research interests: 

Major(s): Economics and Data Science

Minor(s): Public Policy
