About me

I am a Senior Instructional Professor of economics in the Institute for Climate and Sustainable Growth at the University of Chicago. I completed my PhD in economics at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) in 2017. After completing my PhD, I worked as an Associate at the Brattle Group from 2017-2019 where I focused on projects related to environmental damages and competition. I also taught microeconomic theory and environmental economics at the College of the Holy Cross from 2019-2025.

My current research agenda is centered around the measurement of the unanticipated impacts of productivity-enhancing agricultural interventions on household allocations and environmental outcomes, specifically in Sub-Saharan Africa. The majority of my research is in the areas of environmental, agriculture, labor, climate change, and development economics.

I am originally from the south side of Chicago and attended Mt. Carmel High School before completing my B.A. in economics at the College of the Holy Cross. Following graduation I worked for Chicago Partners LLC as an economic consultant providing support on projects related to antitrust, accounting, intellectual property, international trade and investment, labor, technical finance, securities, and valuation. In 2010, I returned to academia and completed an M.S. in economics from Tufts University followed by an M.A. and PhD in economics at UCSB.
