Economics Job Market Candidate
I am a PhD candidate in economics at Michigan State University and am on the 2025‑26 job market seeking a position in economic consulting, policy research, or industry. My research focuses on health, labor, and public economics, with a current emphasis on social insurance programs for injured and disabled workers.
In my job market paper, I use decomposition analyses and large-scale survey data to systematically explain the 43.6 percent decrease in workers’ compensation receipt from 2003 through 2018. I find that the decrease is primarily associated with improvements to workplace safety.
Prior to my doctoral studies, I worked as a market analyst in the energy sector, analyzing complex, granular market data to produce quarterly reports and auditing Black Start revenue requirements to identify potential FERC referral issues.
