Hello! I joined the Alfred Lerner College of Business & Economics as an Assistant Professor of Economics in the fall of 2024 after receiving my Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

My research fields are macroeconomics and labor economics. I am particularly interested in human capital accumulation, intergenerational mobility and economic inequality.
