WELCOME

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Economics at Kansas State University (K-State). I expect to graduate in Spring 2023.  

My research interests include applied macroeconomics and econometrics, and my secondary field is labor economics. My dissertation investigates government spending and labor market assimilation of U.S. female immigrants. For my Job Market Paper, I provide new evidence of the stimulative effects of government transfer payments over the business cycle in the U.S. 

I have taught upper and lower level Macroeconomics as an independent instructor for the past three and half years at K-State. The class sizes range from 21 - 175 students, and the instructional modality includes in-person, hybrid, and global distance. In addition to being an instructor, I have served as an honors student mentor at K-State.
