Hello! I'm a PhD candidate in Agricultural and Consumer Economics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

I am an agricultural and environmental economist studying how extreme weather and a changing climate affect U.S. agricultural trade and agri-food supply chains. My research examines how weather shocks alter trade flows and regional input sourcing, and how these adjustments transmit to downstream food manufacturing. My broader research interests include agricultural adaptation, farmland values, and shifts in the geography of agricultural production and trade.

Research Interests: Agricultural Economics, Environmental Economics, Agricultural Trade, Agri-food Supply Chains, Climate Change
