I am an economist with research interests in human capital formation, racial inequality, and neighborhood effects. I have written papers investigating topics like early childhood education; how landlords, public housing policy, and wealth influence neighborhood sorting; how beliefs affect neighborhood formation; what drives changes over time in the racial wealth gap; and what approaches allow us to formally model and identify neighborhood effects.

I am currently a Research Fellow at the Center for Economic Research on Governance, Inequality and Conflict (CERGIC) at the École Normale Supérieure (ENS) de Lyon. I am also an advisor at the Stone Center for Research on Wealth Inequality and Mobility at the University of Chicago and a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Economic Literature.

I received a BS in mathematics and a BA in economics and Spanish from Indiana University in 2004, and a PhD in economics from the University of Pennsylvania in 2010.

When not doing my research, I am active in the field of math education. I am the Founding Director of The Math Movement, which leverages math for social change. I recently completed a grades 7-12 math textbook to be used as one half of the curriculum for The Math Movement's summer camps; please contact me if you would like a copy of the book to teach math enrichment in your local public schools. I have also worked with Cleveland's Promise Neighborhood and have evaluated community-driven approaches to development in Haiti.
