About

I am an applied microeconomist in urban and public economics. I earned my Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. My research asks how fiscal policy and local economic shocks reshape prices, shift where firms locate, and determine who gains and who bears the cost. To answer these questions I use large administrative datasets and methods designed to surface structures that conventional approaches miss. Alongside my research, I am an enthusiastic educator who treats learning as an individual process. My courses at the University of Richmond build critical thinking, problem solving, and analytical judgment through open-ended questions, structured practice, and real applications from business and urban settings.
