I am an applied economist with a Ph.D. in Agricultural and Applied Economics from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (graduated Spring 2025), specializing in agricultural commodity markets, spatial economics, and financial valuation.

I have eight years of professional experience delivering research projects on labor, the commodity sector, economic impact evaluations, and spatial analysis.

 My research sits at the intersection of finance and applied economics, examining how market frictions, physical infrastructure, and environmental risk shape asset prices and financial outcomes in agricultural and commodity markets.

My technical skills include machine learning, computer programming, economic forecasting with autoregressive models, optimization modeling, data analysis, and regional economic analysis.

I have excellent interpersonal and communication skills to participate in teamwork, listen, and learn from others. I have a positive attitude towards challenges and adaptability to changes.
