Profile

I am an Assistant Professor in the John E. Walker Department of Economics at Clemson University. My research lies at the intersection of macroeconomics and labor economics, with a focus on labor supply, lifecycle inequality, earnings dynamics, consumption, and labor-market transitions.

My research has been published in the American Economic Journal: Macroeconomics and the Journal of Labor Economics. I received my Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Rochester in 2024. I am also a Special Sworn Status Researcher at the U.S. Census Bureau and was a Visiting Scholar at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis in 2025.
