I am an assistant professor of economics at Colgate University. I received my PhD in 2018 from the Charles H. Dyson School at Cornell University.

I am an empirical researcher, and my work is grounded in microeconomic theory and focuses on economic development. I use applied econometrics, microeconomic theory, randomized control trials, and "lab-in-the-field" experiments to uncover the role of information in shaping economic behavior and decision making. In my current research, I investigate how information, social institutions, and group interventions affect behavior, health, peer networks, and social capital in a developing country context.

I completed my undergraduate work at the State University of New York at Geneseo and received my master's degree from the Fletcher School at Tufts University. I also served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Armenia from 2009 to 2011 and have conducted field research in Armenia and Kenya.
