Welcome! I am a Ph.D. Candidate in Economics at the University of Arizona.
I am an applied econometrician researching economic history, public policy, and the criminal justice system. My research explores the role of local self-governance in community well-being and economic development. I focus on policy-relevant questions related to the experiences of the Indigenous peoples of North America.
I previously completed a M.A. in Economics at the University of Victoria (2021) and a B.A. (Hons.) in Economics at the University of Manitoba (2019).
