I hold a PhD in Economics from the CUNY Graduate Center, where I specialized in applied microeconomics, labor economics, and econometrics. During my six years at Hunter College, I served as the primary instructor for Introduction to Econometrics, Labor Economics, and Principles of Microeconomics, teaching over nineteen sections across these courses. I was also recognized with the Leland Gordon Prize in Economics during my undergraduate studies at Denison University, where I graduated cum laude with a degree in Philosophy, Political Science, and Economics. My research has been published in peer-reviewed journals including Economics Letters and Scientific Data, and I work extensively with Stata, R, and Python for applied data analysis.
What I find most rewarding about teaching is the moment a concept that felt abstract suddenly clicks for a student. In peer evaluations of my teaching, a senior professor noted that I am "a natural in the classroom" who is "relaxed and confident, in complete control as a teacher, and energetic and dynamic," and that my rapport with students is "one of her strong points." Another colleague observed that my presentation was "very clear" and that "students were clearly following along with the material." I take this feedback seriously because it reflects the approach I bring to every session: clear explanations, patience with the process, and genuine investment in each student's progress.
Whether you are preparing for AP Microeconomics, working through a college-level econometrics course, or need help navigating Stata for a research project, I tailor each session to where you are right now. I like to start by identifying the last point where the material felt solid, then work forward from there, breaking down new concepts into intuitive steps and reinforcing them with real-world applications. My goal is not just to help you get through the next exam but to build the kind of understanding that carries forward into future courses and professional work.
