About Me
I am a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Chicago on the 2024-25 Econ Job Market.
My job market paper evaluates a learning by teaching intervention using an RCT with over 2,500 middle and high school students in the United States. I leverage technology to make this intervention scalable. I find that students randomly assigned to create weekly math video explanations improve their math skills and can better generalize what they learn, relative to students who did passive versions of the same weekly tasks.
My other research projects study the use of technology and nudging in parental engagement, incentivizing performance in teams, and other topics in behavioral and labor economics.
Prior to graduate school, my experiences include co-founding an Ed Tech company (DiagKNOWstics Learning), managing a state-wide tutoring company in Michigan, teaching high school, and making "educational rap songs" through the non-profit SKULE.org. I value finding innovative ways to help people learn, in addition to rigorously evaluating what works.
