Daisy is currently a second-year PhD student in public policy at the University of Chicago, Harris School of Public Policy. She is interested in understanding racial health disparities and the long-run effects of both de jure and de facto discriminatory policies. Prior to pursuing her PhD, she worked as a data scientist in market research and real estate and started her transition to academia as a research assistant at Tufts/NBER on projects about health, energy, and the environment. Research in Color gave her an opportunity not only to pursue independent research but also bridge her undergraduate education in sociology and budding interest in economics. She remains incredibly grateful to RIC, its leadership team, and her RIC mentor, Professor Ian McCarthy, who was generous with both his time and support.
