Welcome!
I am an Assistant Professor of Economics at the University of Colorado Denver. I am also a Faculty Research Fellow at the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), a Research Fellow at the Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA), and an affiliate of the Institute for Research on Poverty (IRP) at the University of Wisconsin.
In Spring 2022 I founded the Equitable Policy Research Lab. I currently serve as the Associate Chair for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion at the CU Denver Economics department. I also founded and chair the EDI committee in the Economics department. I co-lead the Research Working Group within the Children Thrive Action Network. Finally, I am the chair of the Women in Economics Community for APPAM.
Research Fields
My research interests are in Public, Labor, and Health economics. Specifically, I study U.S. government policies--including safety net and social insurance programs, as well as immigration policy--and examine how they affect outcomes of both foreign-born and US-born.
