Welcome to my homepage!

I am an Assistant Teaching Professor of Economics in the School of Business Administration at Penn State Harrisburg, where I teach undergraduate and graduate economics courses. My research examines how consumer beliefs and inflation expectations shape inflation and business cycles, with a focus on empirical macroeconomics and time-series analysis and broader interests in econometrics. I hold a PhD in Economics from the University of Texas at Dallas.
In my job market paper, I show that oil supply and monetary policy shocks increase disagreement in households’ inflation expectations when inflation is high, but not when it is low.
