Welcome

I am the Deputy Chief Economist at the US Department of State, serving under Chief Economist, Emily Blanchard. Prior to joining the Biden administration, I was an Assistant Professor of Economics in the Department of Economics at the University of Colorado Denver. My academic research focuses on the effect of international trade and migration on firms and labor markets as well as the role of market frictions in shaping the global organization of production. I received a B.A. in Economics from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and earned a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of California, Davis.

Research Fields: International trade, Labor Economics, Entrepreneurship, firm and labor dynamics.
