I am an Assistant Professor of Economics at Grinnell College, where I teach Economics courses ranging from the introductory level to advanced seminars. I hold a PhD and MA in Economics from Indiana University (2025) and a B.S. in Mathematics and Statistics from Purdue University (2019). My primary research focuses on decision-making under uncertainty, drawing on tools from convex analysis and information theory. Much of my recent work has focused on models of motivated reasoning and optimism bias.
