I am an assistant professor in the Department of Agricultural, Food, and Resource Economics at Michigan State University.  

My research interests include environmental and energy economics, public economics, health and urban economics, and applied microeconometrics. Recent topics include social pressure, public shame, and residential water use, COVID-19 stay-at-home policies, travel behavior changes, and resulting health impacts, the interplay between local and federal nutrition assistance, and the effect of reputation on online markets for illicit goods.   

My teaching includes intermediate microeconomics, applied econometrics, and data analytics for undergraduates, along with intermediate microeconomics and data for decision-making for executive MBAs. I use interactive online resources to teach R and statistics, and have created remote content for Haas Digital.

I completed my undergraduate degree in the Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics at UC Davis and obtained an MS in Applied Economics from the Department of Agricultural Economics and Economics at Montana State.
