I am a Lecturer in the Quantitative Methods Department of the Mitch Daniels School of Business at Purdue University. I completed my Ph.D. in Economics at the University of California San Diego, and hold a B.A. in Economics and a B.S. in Mathematics from Indiana University. My research interests are in microeconomic theory and behavioral/experimental economics. I am passionate about teaching, and enjoy teaching both economic and statistical modeling. Outside of the classroom, I serve as a faculty affiliate with the Krenicki Center for Business Analytics and Machine Learning and the faculty sponsor for the Board Games Club at Purdue University.

While a graduate student at UCSD, I taught ECON 100B (Intermediate Microeconomics B).
