Profile

I earned my Ph.D. in applied economics from Clemson University in 2005 and am excited to return to teach at the Wilbur O. and Ann Powers College of Business. After completing my Ph.D., I taught at the University of Georgia before spending several years in private consulting—primarily antitrust litigation support—and in government service at the U.S. Census Bureau. My focus now is on teaching and bringing practical, real-world applications into the classroom.
