Short vita

Born and raised in Montreal, I went to Université de Montréal for Bachelor's and Master's Degrees in Economics, then to Princeton University to pursue my Ph.D. I graduated from Princeton in 2007, and now work as an associate at the economic consulting company Cornerstone Research in New York City. I married T.J. Pray in 2007 and subsequently added his name to mine, hence the new name.
