PhD Student, Colorado State University


Agribusiness, regional food systems, and applied economic development.


Welcome. I study how food moves through regional supply chains and how policy and market design affect who benefits. My work combines applied economics, stakeholder-engaged research, and impact analysis to inform decisions by farmers, firms, and policymakers.

Highlighted Current Projects

  • Seed Quality and Farm Viability in U.S. Sweetpotatoes: Linking plant pathology with economic outcomes across multi-state trials.
  • Public Food Procurement and Price Incentives: Modeling how bid structures influence participation and farm share in large urban markets.
  • Regional Agriculture in Colorado: Estimating the changing economic contributions of agriculture and food sectors in Larimer County.
