Thank you for visiting!

I am a Principal Researcher at Learning Policy Institute. In this role, I conduct research related to the K-12 educator workforce, education finance, and school safety and climate. More generally, my work uses applied econometrics to examine how education policies and systems influence youth development and broader patterns of social and economic inequality.

Previously, I was an Associate Professor at the Rockefeller College of Public Affairs and Policy at University at Albany, SUNY. I currently serve as an Associate Editor at Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis and on the Editorial Board of Education Finance and Policy.

I received my PhD in Public Policy and MA in Economics from Duke University and BA in Economics and East Asian Studies from Yale University.
