I am a 2009-2010 Ph.D. job market candidate at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.  I expect to graduate in May of 2010.

My fields of specialization are Health Economics, Labor Economics and Applied Econometrics.

My dissertation research focuses on the effects of occupational and employer changes on subsequent employment rates and wages of disabled individuals.  I have done additional research on occupational choice among disabled workers.

At UNC, I have taught six independent sections of Labor Economics.  I also spent two semesters as a TA for Introduction to Economics.
