Welcome! I’m an applied economist, wildlife photographer, and pilot. I work as a research economist at the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Economic Research Service, writing academic papers and reports on environmental, labor, and agricultural topics. I leverage a diverse skill set—statistics, econometrics, data management, history, and writing—to analyze relationships and communicate insights. My work is published in top academic journals, and I’ve presented my findings at national conferences, within the USDA, and at public outreach events.
