I’m glad you’re here. This website provides an overview of my teaching, research, and academic background. Feel free to explore, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you’re interested in collaboration or have questions.

I am an Economics Lecturer at the University of Maryland - College Park (UMD), where I joined the Department of Economics in Fall 2026. Before joining UMD, I was an Assistant Teaching Professor at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse (UWL). I earned my Ph.D. in Economics from the Darla Moore School of Business at the University of South Carolina, with a focus on applied microeconomics. My research lies at the intersection of labor economics, education policy, and the integration of artificial intelligence into education and labor markets. I am particularly interested in how public policy can improve outcomes for historically underserved and marginalized communities.

I have taught a range of undergraduate courses, including Global Macroeconomics and Data Analysis for Business Applications at UWL, and Introduction to Economics and Principles of Microeconomics at USC.
