About Me

I am the Kathleen Kaylor and G. Richard Wagoner, Jr.  Assistant Professor of Economics at Duke University and an NBER Research Fellow. I received my Ph.D. in economics from The University of Chicago in 2013, and my B.A. in economics and math from New York University in 2007. I am from the Bronx, NY and I currently live in Durham, with my husband Gregor, our kids Sally & Alvin, and our dogs Vinny & Chapito.

My research interests include macro, labor, and anything broadly fitting under the title of Applied Macroeconomics. I also have an interest in all things computational (ML, numerical methods, etc.).

Looking for places in Brooklyn and NY? Here's where I used to go when I lived there. It's getting dated, let me know if places have since closed 😀
