Hi! I am an Assistant Professor of the Practice in Economics at Boston College. Previously, I was a Lecturer at WashU in St. Louis, and I received my PhD in Public Policy and AB in Economics, both from Harvard. My primary fields are Experimental Economics and Behavioral Science.
My research relates to reputation and how observer expectations of behavior align with--and influence--individual decision making. I am especially interested in how this applies to the contexts of ideological disagreement and gender.
I am particularly passionate about teaching these concepts to others. I currently teach Econometrics, Game Theory and Social Behavior, and Behavioral and Experimental Economics. Previously, I taught Introductory Microeconomics at WashU, Making Decisions at Brown University, developed a seminar course on the Economics of Information at Harvard, and worked as a teaching fellow for numerous courses, including: the Behavioral Science of Negotiations, Macroeconomics, Leadership and Decision Making, and executive education.
When not conducting research, I am typically found rowing or at CrossFit. For more information on my athletic endeavors, see here.
