Brief Biography
I am an economics lecturer and liberal education advocate who currently serves as a Graduate Lecturer at George Mason University, a role I began in fall 2022. I work full-time at the Institute for Humane Studies as a Community Engagement Strategist focused on entrepreneurship, housing, trade, and immigration. I am pursuing my Ph.D. in Economics at George Mason University, expecting to complete it in 2024, and have published academic research in journals including Public Choice, The Independent Review, and Journal of Markets and Morality. I earned my Master's in Economics from George Mason in 2019 and my Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration from the University of Mississippi in 2014. At the Institute for Humane Studies, I direct academic programs and facilitate conversations on entrepreneurship, housing, trade, and immigration through in-person research symposiums and online research discussions.
You can find my work on SSRN and Google Scholar.
