Biography

I am a social scientist with wide interests. Most of my current research addresses issues around labour market and social policy.

From 2005 to 2011, I was Assistant Professor in the School of Policy Studies at Queen's University, and from 2011 to 2016, Associate Professor in the ILR School at Cornell University.

I teach Applied Microeconometrics 1 & 2 (Econ 622/722) in our graduate program, along with Statistics for Economists (Econ 221) and Topics in Labour Economics (Econ 452)  at the undergraduate level.  Prior to academia, I was a consultant with PriceWaterhouseCoopers.
