​Welcome to my site! 

I am an Assistant Professor of Economics at Towson University. My research interests are broadly related to labor and public economics with a focus on child welfare and education policy. I teach Public Finance, Labor Economics, and Microeconomic Principles.  

I am also an external affiliate at the California Center for Population Research at the University of California, Los Angeles. I work on a host of research projects in economic history, labor economics, and demography. 

I received my PhD in economics from the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies at Georgia State University in August 2021.
