About me
I am an applied economist at the University of Nevada in Reno (UNR). I currently focus on research involving empirical applied economics, public economics, and regional economics. My job market paper examines the effect of imposing sales taxes on e-commerce and estimates elasticites for online purchases.
I am currently a graduate research assistant at UNR for Prof. Tom Harris. Much of this work has been for UNR’s Extension office, where research focuses on Nevada specific economic issues. I have also been a teaching assistant for large lecture hall classes for Prof. Todd Sorensen’s introductory microeconomics course and smaller classes of about 60 students as in Prof. Kym Pram’s intermediate microeconomics courses. Additionally I taught international business, introductory microeconomics, and several different finance courses at Benedictine University. I also have work experience as a financial controller for a retail brokerage that I hope to integrate into future classes.
