​Welcome to my site! 

I am an economics PhD student in the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies at Georgia State University. I am on the job market this year and expect to graduate in the summer of 2021.  

My research interests are broadly related to labor and public economics with a focus on child welfare and education policy. My job market paper estimates the effect of extending foster care services beyond age 18 to age 21 on the transition to adulthood for foster youth.
