I am an Assistant Professor of Economics at the United States Naval Academy.  I am an applied labor economist studying racial and gender inequality.

My research strives to understand how laws and incentives can be structured to reduce inequality. I have examined how up-or-out promotion policies affect fertility timing decisions differently for men vs. women, the effectiveness of Title IX in reducing gender disparities in graduate education, and how a racial engagement and advocacy gap affects career progression. My work has been supported by the AccessLex Institute, AIR, and the Russell Sage Foundation. Here is my research statement.

I have a Ph.D. and a master's degree in public policy from the University of Chicago and a B.A. in economics from Wellesley College.
