I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics at Providence College. I completed my Ph.D. Economics from the University of New Mexico. I previously served as a Visiting Assistant Professor of Economics at Colgate University and the College of the Holy Cross. I am an applied microeconomist with research interests in Development Economics, Labor Economics, and Gender. Broadly, my research lies at the intersection of adolescent human capital and labor outcomes and the gender-differentiated impacts of events in developing countries, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and Southeast Asia.
Research interests: adolescent human capital, female labor, gender, child health, welfare programs
