Hello! I'm Susan, and I'm really looking forward to connecting with everyone. I'm currently a student at Columbia University going into my second summer of research with Laidlaw. This summer, I will be working on a macroeconomics project studying the controversial connection between the financial crisis and the economy of goods and services. A goal of the project is to develop a model that could be used to study the various impacts of policy on post-lockdown recovery. Outside of classwork and research, I love to read, cook, travel, learn languages, and have giant mugs of coffee & tea!
