I am a development economist with research in sub-Saharan Africa, primarily on agriculture and the economics of small-scale agricultural households. In my research, I collaborate with partners in Kenya, Uganda, and the US to conduct field experiments, survey agricultural households, and analyze primary and secondary data. 

I am an assistant professor of economics at Bates College. I enjoy introducing students to economic concepts and helping students develop their economic research skills.
