I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics in the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs and the College of Arts and Sciences at Syracuse University.  My research interests are in labor, development, migration, and political economy.  

I received my PhD in Economics from Boston University in May 2022. 

Before starting the PhD, I worked for Peace Corps Nicaragua as an educator in Nicaragua’s Ministry of Education.
