Biography

Dylan grew up in upstate New York and attended SUNY Oswego where he earned a degree in applied mathematics and developed his passion for economics and finance. Following graduation, Dylan moved to Washington, D.C., and began his career at the Federal Reserve as a research assistant analyzing developments in short-term funding markets. After two years, he became an analyst in the Division of Financial Stability where his primary responsibility was to manage the drafting process for the Fed’s public Financial Stability Report. Dylan also supported the Fed’s policy responses to the COVID-19 pandemic and to the banking-sector stress that began in March 2023. Before starting at Princeton, Dylan enjoyed some much needed rest and attending Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour. As a student, he hopes to learn how to more fully apply his mathematics background to the economic policymaking space and to further explore his interest in policy communications. This past summer, Dylan worked as a Student Volunteer at the U.S. Department of Treasury in Washington.
