About Me
I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Public Administration here at NCSU; my research interests center around economic development in distressed communities and research methods. I am particularly interested in the administrative burden associated with accessing many economic development incentives and the inequities caused by such burdens. I earned my B.S. in political science and my masters in public administration from Appalachian State University in 2016 and 2020 respectively.
In addition to being a student, I serve as a navy reservist and recently completed an internship with NCSU’s Laboratory of Analytic Sciences, I am also a student analyst with NC Growth at the UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School.
Before attending NCSU, I worked for the Gaston College Upward Bound program, advising underprivileged high school students and assisting them with their secondary and post-secondary pursuits. During this time I also served as a graduate fellow for Appalachian Community Capital’s Appalachia Economic Development Finance Program, which sparked my interest in economic development research.
