Welcome! I am an Assistant Professor in the John Munro Godfrey, Sr. Department of Economics at the University of Georgia. My research interests include environmental, urban, health, and climate economics. Some of my current projects involve quantifying how climate change has differentially impacted disadvantaged communities, measuring the effect of pesticides on human health, and how to better target subsidies for residential solar.

I was previously a Postdoctoral Fellow at Stanford’s Center on Food Security and the Environment and an ORISE Research Fellow with the US EPA Office of Water. I completed my Ph.D. in Economics at the University of Oregon in 2025.

I like to run in my leisure time—I currently race for the Peninsula Distance Club, and have previously been a part of the Georgetown Running Club while in DC and the UO Running Club in Eugene.
