Welcome to my website!

I am an applied microeconomist. My research involves topics on how families, work, and health shape one another, and how those connections play out over people’s lives. Much of my research focuses on older population and brings molecular genetic data into economics. To that end, a major component of my current research involves understanding the nuances of gene-environment interplay.

I earned my PhD in Economics from the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee and am currently a Visiting Assistant Professor at Millsaps College.

When I am not doing Economics, you can find me on a tennis court, chasing a Federer backhand that remains, for now, more aspiration than reality.
