About Me

I am an environmental and resource economist. My research focuses on the evaluation of regulations and management of natural resources, as well as the quantification of impacts to resource users. I use dynamic modeling and econometric methods.

I love wilderness and am deeply interested in policies that affect conservation and management of natural resources. My interdisciplinary background, combined with my training in Agricultural and Resource Economics, equips me with the skill set to analyze environmental policy and the connection between individuals, businesses and ecosystems.
