Hi! Welcome to my website!
I am an Assistant Teaching Professor at the Department of Economics, University of Massachusetts Lowell. I received my Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Wyoming. I am an environmental economist, with overlap in my work with behavioral and development economics. My research explores how internal incentives of government agencies and firms affect environmental outcomes, how behavioral interventions interact with economic incentives in affecting behavior, and how teams differ from individuals in terms of behavioral irrationalities. These studies have applied theories from social psychology and corporate finance together with econometric techniques to better understand and help address some of the pressing environmental and development issues.
Besides being at my office cracking the dismal science, I particularly enjoy fishing, mountain biking, playing racquetball, and road trips.
