About Me

I am a PhD student in Quantitative Economics with research interests in labor and behavioral economics. My dissertation centers around the impact of institutions and environments on cognitive performance. 

I grew up in Chattanooga, TN and later in the Rhine-Main area of Germany.  I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of Mainz and earned my master’s degree from Kiel University. When I’m not at my desk working with R or Stata, you can probably find me rowing my 60 year-old wood shell out on the Kiel Fjord.
