About Me:

I recently completed my PhD in Economics at Vanderbilt University. My dissertation was titled 'Essays in the Economics of Education Policy'.

My research interests are in applied microeconomics, particularly in economics of K-12 education policy. I study how K-12 policy interventions impact student outcomes, and I am particularly interested in the intersection of educational interventions, health, and crime. 

In addition to my research, I work as the Data Manager for the Tennessee Education Research Alliance. 

I will be joining the Washington, DC office of Analysis Group in August 2024.
