Welcome to my website!

I’m a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Agricultural Economics and Agribusiness at Louisiana State University.

My research lies at the intersection of food and agricultural economics, consumer economics, and environmental economics. I study how environmental shocks affect agricultural production and agrifood supply chains, and how food price changes shape consumer behavior, diet quality, and welfare.

I received my PhD in Applied Economics from the University of Minnesota in 2025.

Here is my CV.
