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.

Over the past few years I have contributed to a variety of policy-relevant projects. My experiences include providing economic analysis for a major federal rule and several consumer protection investigations at the Federal Trade Commission, conducting energy economics research at the World Bank, conducting food policy research at the World Wildlife Fund, designing a health policy evaluation strategy for a results-based financing project in Liberian hospitals, and identifying predictors of permanent housing for homeless families at the University of Washington eScience Institute.
