I am a Research Economist at the University of Hawai`i Economic Research Organization (UHERO). I work on public policy research that addresses critical issues in education, housing, and labor within the state of Hawai`i. My interests are in the health, labor, and public economics fields. I have a Bachelor's degree in economics from Loyola Marymount University and a MA and PhD in economics from the University of Hawai`i at Mānoa.
