Ph.D. Candidate
Agricultural and Resource Economics
​University of California, Davis

​I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Agricultural and Resource Economics Department at the University of California, Davis.  My research incorporates elements of labor, immigration, agricultural, and development economics. I am currently studying how changes in the farm labor supply affect farming decisions and labor-intensive agricultural production in California. I am an affiliate of the U.C. Davis Global Migration Center, where I also serve as a student administrative coordinator organizing interdisciplinary workshops for graduate students engaged in migration-related research. I earned a Bachelor's Degree in Economics (with highest honors) in 2015 and a Master's Degree in Agricultural and Resource Economics in 2016 (both from U.C. Davis). I currently live in Roseville, California with my wife Rebekah and our little dog Chloe.
