I am a PhD student in the Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences at Duke University. My expertise lies in environmental and natural resource economics, and I am currently working with my dissertation advisor, Professor Randall A. Kramer on the application of dynamic bioeconomic models of pesticide resistance to the context of vector-borne diseases, such as malaria. I also have been working with Assistant Professor Marc F. Bellemare, in Duke's Sanford School of Public Policy, in the examination of the impacts of wealth and price risk on household production decisions and contracts. Currently, I am serving as a teaching assistant for Integrating Environmental Science and Policy, the Nicholas School's "gateway course" for undergraduate students at Duke.
