I completed my doctoral studies in Economics at the University of Kentucky in 2021. My fields of research are labor economics and the economics of education with an emphasis on network and peer effects.
I was sole instructor of record for multiple sections of Principles of Microeconomics, Business and Economics Statistics, Intermediate Microeconomics, Individual Work in Economics (Policy Evaluation), and Labor Economics at the University of Kentucky during my PhD studies. I was a graduate research assistant at the University of Kentucky Center for Business and Economic Research (CBER) and a data scientist at Fayette County Public Schools during my studies as well. I was an Assistant Professor of Economics at Elon University.
Additionally, I completed the PhD field course sequence in environmental economics and individual PhD courses in industrial organization, network analysis, and extensive econometrics including panel econometrics and time series. Prior to that, my background was in new institutional economics.
