About me

I received my BS in Economics and Statistics from the University of Illinois in 2014, where I swam on the Varsity Women's Swimming and Diving Team (I-L-L!).  

I earned my MS in Agricultural and Applied Economics from the University of Illinois in 2016.  During that time I led my first independent field work in Brazil.  

I finished my PhD in Agricultural and Applied Economics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2020.  I returned to Brazil in 2018, 2019, and 2023, including spending a year as a Fulbright Research Scholar in Rondônia. 

Outside of work (and sometimes overlapping with it), I can be found hiking, swimming, and trying futilely to tire out my two giant dogs, Indiana Jones and Han Solo.
