My research focuses applying demand theory to environmental and resource goods; I am particularly interested in heterogeneity (i.e. difference) of demand and the impact of external shocks to demand. Much of my research uses econometric methods to explore environmental and resource economics topics in New Mexico and the Mountain West. However, I expect my work going forward will focus both on large-scale environmental and resource topics as well as local issues and policy changes or impacts. I am also interested in developing an interdisciplinary research agenda that incorporates hard sciences in order to answer some of the most important environmental questions of the day. In addition to my research, I have a substantial teaching background. I have taught multiple classes at different levels, formats, and types of institutions. More information about my research and teaching can be found on the following pages.
I earned my Ph.D. in 2019 in economics from the University of New Mexico (UNM), my MA in economics from UNM in Albuquerque, New Mexico in 2013 and my BA in economics and finance from the University of Southern Indiana in Evansville, Indiana in 2011. Outside of my professional responsibilities, I enjoy reading, traveling, being outside, and learning about random topics.
