teaching

I am recruiting graduate students for M.S. programs in Applied Econometrics & Data Analytics and in Applied Economics & Policy Analysis. I currently serve as the Director of Graduate Studies, so you can reach out to me about any interest in AAE Graduate Programs.

I also regularly work with undergraduate students in independent studies and guided research experiences. Check out some student spotlights from my current and former students, including Freddy Driesen, Brenda Jimenez, Stephanie Perez, and Samantha Wetherell.

I have studied instructional pedagogy in economics, including active and experiential learning and alternatives to in-person instruction. My work in this area has been published in the Journal of Economic Education, Applied Economics Teaching Resources, and NACTA Journal.
