I am an economics student at the University of California at Berkeley. My work has an applied focus that uses sophisticated econometric analyses to translate economic theory into testable hypotheses. While my primary fields are industrial organization, political economy, and law and economics, I have also worked with environmental, health, energy, and intellectual property issues. This intellectual breadth is complemented by my experiences working in a regulatory agency, a think tank, and in academia.

I have been recognized nationally for my leadership accomplishments and the recruitment strategy that I formulated was adopted as a model by the international chapter of my fraternity. My teaching experience has developed my ability to communicate complex ideas clearly and to place them within a larger context.

I enjoy politics, hiking, fishing, and college hockey and lacrosse.

When home, I enjoy spending time with my two Labrador retrievers, Coccoa and Susie.
