I hold a Ph.D. in Agricultural and Resource Economics from the University of Maryland, with a background in applied microeconomics and causal inference. My research focuses on gender, household, and health economics in low-income countries, as well as consumer protection issues in the U.S. I am currently an Economist at the Federal Trade Commission’s Bureau of Economics in Washington D.C.

I have extensive experience conducting rigorous economic analysis for a variety of policy-relevant projects. I have provided economic analysis for a major federal rule and several consumer protection investigations at the Federal Trade Commission, conducted energy economics research at the World Bank, conducted food policy research at the World Wildlife Fund, designed a health policy evaluation strategy for a results-based financing project in Liberian hospitals, and identified predictors of permanent housing for homeless families at the University of Washington eScience Institute.
