Welcome!
I am currently a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at the Department of Economics, Queen’s University. I obtained my Ph.D. in Economics from Rice University in 2024.
My research focuses on early childhood environments and education policies. In my job market paper, I develop a methodology to elicit parental subjective distributions regarding the returns to investment in children during early childhood.
My other work consists of examining the child care industry and K-12 educational policy. In particular, I evaluate and propose public policies that are intended at improving retention, quality, and pay of the child care workforce and K-12 school teachers.
