I teach economics with an emphasis on analytical rigor, clarity, and policy relevance. My courses are designed to help students move beyond memorizing models toward using economic reasoning to understand real-world questions in broad areas of economics: macroeconomics, labor, health, development, and public policy. I aim to create a classroom environment that is intellectually demanding, supportive, and transparent, with clear expectations and a strong emphasis on evidence-based reasoning.
At the University of Alabama in Huntsville, my recent teaching has included Macroeconomic Analysis and Labor Economics. In these courses, I combine formal modeling with applied discussion, writing-based reflection, and empirical analysis. In earlier appointments, I taught Health Economics and Principles of Microeconomics at the University of Georgia and delivered guest lectures at Emory University, Rice University, McGill University, and the University of California, Riverside. My broader teaching and mentoring reflect a commitment to helping students use economics as a rigorous way of thinking about real-world problems, institutions, and policy.
