I am a Ph.D. candidate at the Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE) in its Education Policy and Program Evaluation concentration.
My research centers on using rigorous quantitative methods to measure the impacts of education programs and policies. I work in close partnership with state and local education agencies, notably the Tennessee Department of Education, the State of New Jersey, and North Carolina’s Wake County Public School System.
I primarily study topics at the intersection of education and economics, but also draw from the traditions of psychology, political science, and sociology in my work. My current projects focus on career and technical education, peer effects, school choice, and teacher labor markets.
This fall (2024), I will join the Department of Educational Leadership & Policy Studies at Florida State University as an assistant professor.
