About Me

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Center for Experimental and Applied Economics at the University of Delaware.

I am an environmental economist with expertise in environmental valuation and experimental economics. My interdisciplinary research applies economic tools to address environmental issues by providing a better understanding of human behavior and informing policy design.

My topics of specialization include wildlife conservation, water resource management, and agri-environmental policies. My research makes methodological contributions by developing novel recreation demand models, advancing the design of stated preference surveys, comparing behavioral responses from students and non-students in economic experiments, and connecting laboratory with field experiments to inform program implementation.
