Welcome!

I am a health economist that dabbles in various aspects of discrepancies in care, drug related policies, biases of treatment, competition among providers, and spatial analysis, with a focus on quasi-experimental designs.  I recently defended my doctoral thesis dealing with the urgent care market.  I work as a post-doctoral researcher with Drs. Randall Akee and Emilia Simeonova at the National Bureau of Economic Research dealing with health disparities among American Indians and rural communities during the onset of the pandemic.

I enjoy teaching microeconomics, macroeconomics, healthcare economics, statistics, game theory, and business economics.  I wish to incorporate law and economics, anti-trust, and econometrics into my teaching schedule.

Hobbies of mine include woodworking, social dancing, photography, and drumming.  The picture on this page is a pizza peel I made for a friend using ten different woods.  It reminds me of a sunrise over sand dunes and water.

Please take a minute to look around and feel free to contact me.  I am a curious soul that loves figuring out puzzles.  I am always open for new and creative, interdisciplinary collaborations.
