I am an Assistant Professor of Economics at Winthrop University and a proud Winthrop alumni.

My research lies at the intersection of urban and transportation economics, using natural experiments and causal inference techniques to evaluate how transportation policies and infrastructure impact economic outcomes. I have published work in Transportation Research Part A: Policy and Practice and the Eastern Economic Journal. For more information, please visit my Research page. 

I am passionate about teaching. My teaching philosophy is centered on creating an engaging and student-centric learning environment and was shaped by my previous experiences in the U.S. Peace Corps. For an overview of the courses I have experience teaching, please visit my Teaching page.
