I am an economist in the Expert Analysis Group of the United States Department of Justice's Antitrust Division. I received my Ph.D. in Agricultural and Applied Economics from the University of Wisconsin - Madison.

My research focuses on topics at the intersection of development, structural change, and international trade and uses tools from applied microeconomics, applied econometrics, and structural industrial organization. I am particularly interested in the implications of service-sector specialization for economic development in emerging economies in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), and Sub-Saharan Africa.
