About Me

I'm a Ph.D. candidate in Public Policy at the University of Chicago.

My primary fields of interest are the economics of education and urban economics. I'm working on field studies in Macedonia that examine information diffusion over cross-ethnic networks and the role of mutual communication competencies in inter-ethnic cohesion.

I'm a research and policy fellow with the U.S. Department of Education, where I study higher education policy.

Prior to graduate school, I taught middle school math in Thoreau, New Mexico, was an Education Fellow at NYC Department of Education and served as a Research and IT Fellow at Gobabeb Research and Training Center in Namibia.
