Welcome to my personal research website. I am a Postdoctoral Associate at the University of Colorado Boulder, housed in the Institute of Behavioral Science. In 2026, I received my Ph.D. from the Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics at the University of Maryland.

I am an applied microeconomist who specializes in environmental and resource economics. Much of my current research studies the pricing and allocation of energy and water resources during periods of scarcity, such as peak electricity demand hours or severe droughts. Currently, I am investigating how drought-induced conservation mandates interact with existing, inefficient water prices.

In addition to my work on resource quantities, I also maintain an active research agenda in the economics of environmental quality, particularly water quality. In this work, I characterize long-run trends in surface water quality and examine how policy design impacts nonpoint source pollution from both the agricultural and residential sectors. Currently, I am working to identify how variation in lead remediation efforts (e.g., service line replacements by water utilities) affects health and behavioral outcomes.
