Bio
I am an economist at the U.S. Census Bureau’s Center for Economic Studies. My research focuses on the behavior of U.S. firms affected by international trade. Prior to beginning my graduate studies, I worked in the private sector, advising domestic and foreign firms involved in antidumping and safeguard investigations.
