My areas of expertise are in labor economics and education, particularly topics related to higher education and outcomes of early career adults. I earned my Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in Public Policy. Check out my latest research here. My current CV.

My research has appeared in peer-reviewed journals like the Journal of Policy Analysis and Management, Education Finance and Policy, and Educational Researcher and in policy platforms like the North Carolina Education Futures Initiative, Pew Charitable Trusts, and the Brookings Institution: Brown Center Chalkboard.
