About
I am an economics lecturer and post-qualifying doctoral candidate with research interests spanning across applied microeconomics, industrial organization, game theory, public policy, and behavioral & experimental economics.
I hold master's degrees in Economics (Rutgers University) and Applied Economics (Johns Hopkins University) and Management (Duke University's Fuqua School of Business) with an economics and liberal arts undergraduate education (Washington & Lee University).
It is important for all of us to better understand how human behaviors and microeconomic forces can determine aggregate outcomes like government policies, social norms, business performance, and how organizations and markets are structured.
There are different toolkits to explore these topics. Game theory can model the interactive strategic reasoning of decision-makers, hypothetically analyzing everything from psychology to the availability and impact of information to the roles of probabilities and inherent uncertainties in nature. Econometrics objectively measures what actually happens. This field of empirical study can quantify and characterize any correlation or cause and effect relationship where there is sufficient observable data. As computing power exponentially increases, along with the quantity and quality of data describing the world around us, the descriptive power and precision of statistical analysis will only grow. Economics overall is really just a study of relative value and how our perceptions of it affect our strategic behaviors towards each other and utilization of resources.
As a former multi-sport student-athlete and experienced coach, I am passionate about education and facilitating sustainable long-term growth and development. The most efficient, impactful, and meaningful teaching and coaching builds capabilities to continue learning and improving independently.
