I believe research and teaching go hand in hand. I am passionate about helping students find their path in economics and develop the analytical skills to think critically about policy. To sharpen my own teaching, I completed a thirteen-credit Cognate in College Teaching at the University of New Hampshire, covering pedagogy, cognition, assessment methods, and teaching economics.
