Welcome to my homepage!

I am an Assistant Teaching Professor of Economics at Penn State Harrisburg, where I teach undergraduate and graduate economics courses. I earned my Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Texas at Dallas. My research focuses on empirical macroeconomics and macroeconometrics, particularly inflation expectations, consumer beliefs, and business-cycle dynamics. 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.
