I am an applied microeconomist at the Penn Wharton Budget Model, working with the demographic microsimulation and policy analysis teams.
Research interests
I earned a Ph.D. in Economics from Georgia State University, where I was affiliated with the Georgia Policy Labs, and an M.A. in Economics from Georgetown University and ILADES.
