About Me

I am an Economics PhD student at George Mason University. I received my Bachelors in Economics from GMU in 2019 and my Masters in 2021.

My research interests include political and applied microeconomics, historical political economy, growth, and institutional change. Of particular focus are periods of conflict and how individual behavior is shaped by those conditions. I work primarily in R, and have experience with geospatial analysis, text-as-data methods, and historical data digitization. I have taught undergraduate courses as a graduate lecturer at George Mason University, including microeconomics, macroeconomics, and international development.

I hope that my work will help build a greater understanding of the social and political questions of the past and today. Outside of academia, I enjoy reading sci-fi/fantasy, playing the latest video games, and traveling with my partner.
