I am an Assistant Professor of Business Analytics at the College of Business at Xavier University, and I have a Ph.D. in Economics from Virginia Tech. My quantitative methods research lies at the intersection of econometrics, statistics, business analytics, and computational modeling, with a particular focus on simulation-based validation and meta-regression techniques. I aim to bridge methodological rigor with practical, policy-relevant insights, applying advanced analytic tools to areas ranging from macroeconomic forecasting to experimental design and machine learning.
In addition to research, for the past two years I have had extensive experience in: teaching seven sections of undergraduate courses in economics (including applied econometrics, with teaching evaluations consistently above the college and department's average), academic work (in addition to the standard graduate assistantship), and professional service (refereeing journal articles, providing letters of recommendation, speaking at alumni events for my alma matters, etc). Please see my CV for further details.
Beyond technical expertise, I have fostered extensive leadership experience both in and outside research positions that have strengthened my ability to communicate complex concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Please feel free to reach out if you'd like to collaborate on applied econometrics, statistics, business analytics, or other related fields!
