Background
I teach courses in labor economics, gender economics, introductory economics, and intermediate microeconomic theory. My research examines the links between labor markets, gender, family, and economics of religion. Two of my recent papers explore the impacts of siblings and peers on women’s educational attainment and earnings. I also have work exploring how religious scandals affect charitable giving.
Raised in Michigan, I received a B.A. in Economics from Pomona College. I then worked for Disney Consumer Products and the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston before receiving my Ph.D. from Cornell.
