Welcome! I am a Ph.D. Candidate at UC Berkeley in the Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics. Starting in July 2023, I will join the UC Davis Agricultural and Resource Economics department as an assistant professor of cooperative extension. My main fields of interest include agricultural economics and international trade as well as development, remote sensing, and climate change. A connecting theme in my research is that I aim to study the determinants of why regions choose to produce the (primarily agricultural) commodities they do, and the aggregate consequences of those decisions. In my work, I quantify the forces that determine where agriculture is produced as well as where it might be produced in the future, the interactions between licit and illicit crop production, and the distribution of scarce natural resources. In my free time, I enjoy going up and down mountains, either on foot or on
skis.
