In Fall 2024 I will join the Department of Economics at Denison University as an Assistant Professor.

Check out my latest research here. Link to my current CV.

My research examines the influence of economic forces, postsecondary institutions, and public policies on the skill formation and labor market outcomes of young adults. I earned my Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in Public Policy.

My research has appeared in peer-reviewed journals like the Journal of Policy Analysis and Management, Education Finance and Policy, and Educational Researcher and in policy platforms like the North Carolina Education Futures Initiative, Pew Charitable Trusts, and the Brookings Institution: Brown Center Chalkboard. Prior to UNC, I also worked several years as an analyst with RTI International and in partnership with the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics (NCES).
