About Me
I’m an economics student at the University of Louisville drawn to questions where theory and data have to meet.
I’m completing a B.A. in Economics with a minor in Mathematics at the University of Louisville, graduating with distinction in May 2027. My coursework spans econometrics, real analysis, linear algebra, and probability, and my interests center on industrial organization, causal inference, international economics, and mean field games. I’m currently branching into different fields within industrial organization.
My current paper asks how workers respond to a major investment before it materializes. Using a continuous-time spatial mean field game calibrated to nearly one million worker residences, I study relocation around Intel’s announced Ohio semiconductor plant, and the partial reversal that follows when the project is delayed. My honors thesis took a different angle on behavior: using the 2018 PISA data, it examined how students’ use of technology relates to achievement, work I’m now extending in a solo paper.
Beyond research, I tutor intermediate macroeconomics, take part in the Center for Free Enterprise scholars program, and competed as the sole data analyst on my team at the 2026 EconGames.
Beyond the Numbers
I spend my spare time swimming and reading; my favorite authors range from Chekhov and Dostoevsky to Baldwin and Pinker. I think the more you read, the more creative and engaged you become, and the more you see how everything, abstract or concrete, is connected. That instinct took me to the University of South Carolina’s summer seminar on the trivium, where I read The Odyssey in Ancient Greek. Lately I’ve been teaching myself new econometric techniques, graph theory, and industrial organization.
