I am currently an Associate Quantitative Researcher at O’Shaughnessy Asset Management.
My research helps individuals construct long/short portfolios and trading strategies designed for efficient tax-loss harvesting.
Prior, I was a Program Evaluation Specialist at Censeo Consulting. My research there included:
-
Environmental and economic impacts of brownfield redevelopment
-
Improving equity in water monitoring and access to federal remediation dollars
-
Increasing adoption of agricultural non-point source pollution management practices
At Penn State, my research focused on:
-
Empirical effects of forested riparian buffers on water quality
-
Nonmarket valuation of cleaner water and benefit distribution through an environmental justice lens
-
Recreational demand for cleaner water
-
Economic experimentation to get willingness-to-pay for public boat washing stations
-
Modeling how boaters travel to identify common routes invasive species are spread (and which non-invaded waterbodies are most vulnerable)
I have a passion for presenting research through novel media such as R-Shiny apps and interactive markdown. My goal is to present meaningful economic findings in a clear, consise, and even fun way for stakeholders, communities, policy makers, and laypersons.
