Welcome! I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Economics at Georgia State University . I research topics in public economics related to education policy, food security, and child wellbeing. I am a graduate research assistant in the Georgia Policy Labs.
In Fall 2026, I will join the Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter School of Public Policy at Georgia Tech as a Postdoctoral Fellow.
My research at GSU is supported by the National Science Foundation's Graduate Research Fellowship. I received my BS in Economics and MS in Data Analytics from Georgia Tech . I've also spent time as a research intern at the National Lab of the Rockies and the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston .
