I am an assistant professor in the Department of Agricultural, Food, and Resource Economics at Michigan State University. I received training as an applied economist at the University of California, Davis where I earned a Ph.D. in Agricultural and Resource Economics in 2020. My research focuses primarily on issues related to farm labor, immigration, and agri-food economics. My current research efforts aim to document the prevalence of farm labor shortages and investigate market and policy-based solutions to the problem.  If you would like to learn more about me or my research, please explore the other pages on this website by clicking the tabs at the top of your screen.
