Research Economist
I am an applied microeconomist with the Penn Wharton Budget Model at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. My research spans labor economics, public economics, and economic demography.
I earned my Ph.D. in economics from Georgia State University, where I worked with the Georgia Policy Labs on career and technical education. Previously, I supported randomized controlled trials in financial inclusion at Innovations for Poverty Action.
