I am an Assistant Professor in The Carter School of Public Policy at Georgia Tech and a Faculty Affiliate with the Child Maltreatment Solutions Network at Penn State.

I am an applied economist specializing in public economics and public policy. My research examines how institutions, such as the child welfare system, affect vulnerable populations and especially children. To study these questions, my research employs quasi-experimental econometric techniques and linked administrative data from several states.
