I am an applied microeconomist with primary research interests in labor and health economics, as well as in public finance and industrial organization. My past research has investigated the impact of nursing home payroll subsidies and heterogeneity in the fiscal multiplier by local economic conditions. I will be receiving my Ph.D. in economics from the University of Maryland, College Park in May of 2019 and will be starting employment at the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's Center for Financing, Access and Cost Trends in September.
