I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics at the University of Colorado Denver. I hold a Ph.D. and MA degree in Economics from Duke University. My research interests lie at the intersection of development and population economics, with a special interest in the topics of data quality, conflict, and migration. My work has examined the impact of economic shocks (e.g., unexpected increases in violence) or behavioral decisions (e.g., migration) on labor market outcomes, human capital accumulation, and health.
