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

My dissertation research focuses on the effect of high school leadership on subsequent educational attainment and post-schooling wages. I have also spent time doing research in health economics.

At UNC, I have taught five independent sections of Applied Microeconomics, the intermediate microeconomics course for non-majors.  I also spent one semester as a TA for Introduction to Economics.

Prior to coming to UNC, I worked in Chicago, IL as an analyst for InteCap, Inc., an economic consulting firm.
