Welcome!

I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Economics at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. I obtained my M.A. in Economics from the University of Calgary in 2016.  I am on the job market for the academic year of 2023-2024.

My research areas include Labor Economics and Applied Microeconomics, with a specific focus on topics related to Education, family, and employment. I am particularly interested in understanding the factors that influence individuals' labor market and educational outcomes. Additionally, I have a keen enthusiasm for evaluating the impact of public policies in this context.
