About me

I am an applied microeconomist specializing in environmental economics. My primary research focuses on the intersection of environmental justice, equity, and land conservation efforts. I am an active researcher in my field and have published in several journals such as Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and Land Economics. I am a member of the Association of Environmental and Resource Economists, and the Northeastern Agricultural and Resource Economics Association, and I have served as a referee for the Australian Journal of Agriculture and Resource Economics and Journal of Real Estate Finance and Economics. Additional research interests include urban economics, mobility and residential sorting, public goods, voting, and non-market valuation.

Currently, I work at the University of Rhode Island with Dr. Corey Lang as a postdoctoral researcher. We are investigating partisan preferences for environmental goods as part of a USDA, National Institute of Food and Agriculture grant. I am constantly seeking opportunities to collaborate on research with peers across all fields. I have conducted successful research projects with faculty from The Ohio State University, and have current projects with faculty from Loyola University.

Aside from my research projects, I also enjoy working with students. I have had the opportunity to design and instruct two undergraduate courses in Princples of Microeconomics, and Introduction to Natural Resource Economics. Additionally, I have guest lectured for Advanced Econometrics and Environmental Economics at the graduate level. A future goal of mine would be to develop a graduate course around applied environmental economics and non-market valuation methods.
