I am a researcher and education advocate focused on college and career pathways, educational policy,  financial aid program design, workforce development, economics of education, and the examination of barriers to postsecondary access and success. 

I received my Ph.D. in Higher Education Administration from the University of Michigan's Center for the Study of Higher and Postsecondary Education. I was previously an Assistant Professor at Arizona State University and the Executive Director at Iowa College Aid.
