Service

I’ve taken on a few service projects/roles in recent years, in addition to the usual professional service like referee reports, conference organization, etc. Brief descriptions, and links to other information if available, are below:

Department Service

  • First Year Graduate Student Mentor, 2021-2025
  • Professionalism Workshop. This is a workshop for 2nd-5th year Economics PhD students. We cover lots of “unwritten” things that most PhD students should know, including best practices for workflow, conferences, presentations, and ultimately the job market.
  • Interim Director of Graduate Studies, 2024-2025

External Mentorship

As a first-generation college student, I’m well aware of how challenging it can be to navigate into/around academia for those of use not already connected to that space. So I try to volunteer my time as a mentor as generously as possible. A few of my regular mentorship efforts are listed below:

  • ASHEcon annual mentorship sessions, 2018-2025
  • Research in Color, 2019-2020 and 2020-2021
  • Association for Mentoring and Inclusion in Economics, 2022-2024

Editorial Roles

  • Associate Editor, Southern Economic Journal, 2025
  • ASHEcon Program Chair, Physician Labor Markets and Treatment Decisions, 2024-2026

Other Appointments

  • Visiting Scholar, Congressional Budget Office, 2021-2023
