Welcome! I am a real estate and urban economist whose research focuses primarily on real estate-related phenomena that have implications for urban environments. This includes drivers of spatial patterns of volatility in markets within and across cities and the challenges and tradeoffs associated with access to affordable housing.

I am currently a postdoctoral fellow in the Finance Department at the University of Cincinnati. There I am working on how place-based policies affect where housing gets built, including where Low-Income Housing Tax Credit projects are placed and how they affect surrounding neighborhoods.

Before joining UC, I was a research economist at Fannie Mae, where I worked on demographic trends in housing demand and household formation, as well as issues related to housing affordability. Before graduate school, I was a research associate at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. I hold a PhD in economics from Syracuse University and an MA in economics from the University of Pittsburgh.
