About Me
I am a fourth-year PhD student in Economics at Claremont Graduate University, and a member of the Computational Justice Lab. My research interest is in applied microeconomics, with a focus on issues of public finance, labor economics, urban economics, and criminal justice.
Outside of academia, I am also Managing Director at Grayslake Advisors, an economic consulting firm that provides expert services to clients involved in complex commercial litigation. Prior to attending CGU, I earned a Master of Urban Planning degree from the University of Southern California, and a BA in Public Policy from the University of Michigan.
