- Research Fields: land use, housing, transportation, and public finance.
Master of Science in Applied Economics, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN, September 2020 – June 2024
- Graduate minor: Data Science.
- Thesis: A Spatial Approach to Agrifood Supply Chain Structure under the guidance of Hikaru Peterson, Professor of Applied Economics.
- Examined the structural dynamics of U.S. agrifood supply chains during COVID-19, using spatial regression models to measure the effect of food capacity on food flows at county levels across the supply chain.
- Utilized datasets including IMPLAN and Census data (County Business Patterns Survey, American Community Survey, USDA ERS, Department of Transportation, etc.).
- Generated results from spatial regression models, capturing how neighboring county capacity variations affected goods flow through the supply chain.
- Selected Paper Presenter at AAEA.

Conservation Economist – Intern II
Hennepin County, Minneapolis, MN • June 2024 – Present

Evaluated the impact of conservation easements and programs (Green Acres, Agricultural Preserve, Rural Preserve) on property values, tax burden, and neighboring parcels.
Studied spillover effects on neighboring parcels, including shifts in housing values and tax liability from nearby conservation easements.
Simulated conservation easement scenarios to estimate fiscal impacts and illustrate tax implications for municipal budgets and finances.
Used R, QGIS, and ArcGIS to analyze spatial patterns in how conservation and tax policy shape local property values and public finance outcomes.
Analyzed costs of Best Management Practices and Nature-based Climate Solutions, including installation, maintenance, and funding options (grants, bonding, CIP, in-kind contributions).
Developed cost analyses and forecasts for contract specifications, including labor, equipment, and long-term maintenance, incorporating depreciation and capitalization of tools and vehicles in partnership with Hennepin County, TRPD, and Great River Greening.
Assisted with survey administration and data management using Survey123, including collecting responses, organizing results, and supporting integration into project workflows.

Graduate Research Assistant (GRA)
Accessibility Observatory, Minneapolis, MN • September 2022 – Present

Created public datasets on accessibility of transportation types (bike, car, and transit) using Pandas and SQL.
Developed Python pipeline taking data from AWS, cleaning it, and generating weighted average data of jobs accessible from blocks to state level within the US.
Built and utilized additional pipelines to generate access data for ad hoc deliverables for Met Council and state Departments of Transportation.
Created Rshiny application using leaflet to display national job accessibility (block group to state level) and distributed to partners.
Experienced with GitHub and Git commands.

Data Science Intern
Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, Minneapolis, MN • June 2022 – March 2024

Assisted the Stress Testing team in converting code from MATLAB to R to build forecasting models (VAR, Kalman Filtering) for assessing bank resiliency against macroeconomic shocks.
Analyzed U.S. banking conditions under the new CECL policy and presented findings to examiners and supervisors.
Created Rshiny applications incorporating risk models to identify bank risk levels by loan and asset types.
Investigated changes in rural banking quality and agricultural output in the Ninth District.
Built an Rshiny dashboard using U.S. Census ACS and Federal Reserve data to visualize county-level economic and banking conditions.
Pulled and processed data from Federal Reserve servers for models and dashboards.
Utilized Gitlab and Linux with the Stress Testing team.

Graduate Research Assistant (GRA)
Project: Foodshed • Agricultural Commodities
University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN • September 2020 – 2022

Conducted literature review for future publication.
Examined regional food system resiliency during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Built comprehensive dataset using Census and IMPLAN data for OLS and spatial regression models in R.

Undergraduate Research Assistant
Bureau of Business and Economic Research, Duluth, MN • September 2019 – May 2020

Generated local economic data and performed analysis using IMPLAN, Excel, and SPSS.
Cleaned and interpreted survey data on Qualtrics and Excel.
Collaborated with fellow RAs to produce publications later published on the university website.
Contributed to literature review and public outreach for labor market research.
