Resume

Private Tutor, Intermediate Macroeconomics

• Recommended by faculty to tutor students in intermediate macroeconomics.
• Clarify model specifications, assumptions, and how variables connect across models.
• Improved the first student’s quiz grades by 200% after two hours of tutoring.

Data Analyst, The 2026 EconGames

24-hour data-driven business case competition

• Sole data analyst on an eight-member team competing against 30 university teams.
• Independently cleaned and analyzed race-level data to compare traditional horse-racing timing with GPS-based tracking.
• Showed GPS tracking better captured intervals between horses, while traditional timing gave more accurate finishing times.
• Built a probability model of finishing order for an upcoming race and used it to identify a winning parlay.

Independent Researcher

“Before the Factory Opens: Anticipation and Spatial Adjustment to Announced and Delayed Local Shocks”

• Develop a continuous-time spatial mean field game with coupled HJB–KFE equations to study anticipatory migration following Intel’s announced Ohio semiconductor investment.
• Calibrate an exact discrete inverse equilibrium to 969,829 Census LODES worker residences, incorporating BLS QCEW data and publicly announced project employment and pay.
• Estimate that roughly 46.7% of eventual model-implied spatial adjustment occurs before the initially expected opening; model later information revisions to quantify partial reversal after project delays.
• Extend the model to two-dimensional geography with extensive numerical and structural robustness analysis; 2D geography reduces predicted reallocation by about 16% while leaving the timing result nearly unchanged.
• Presented at the Kentucky Economic Association Annual Conference, October 2026.

Honors Thesis Researcher

University of Louisville

• Investigated how educational technology use-cases affect achievement in mathematics, reading, and science using the 2018 PISA dataset.
• Built a cross-country PISA sample accounting for differences across assessment booklets; estimated multivariate regression models and marginal effects with external controls.
• Ran variance inflation factor diagnostics and additional robustness checks.
• Found home technology to be the strongest statistically significant technology-related predictor of achievement, with socioeconomic status explaining a substantial share of the relationship.
• Defended before a three-member faculty committee; presented at the Kentucky Economic Association Annual Conference, October 2026.
