I'm a Rhodes Scholar completing the MPhil in Economics at Oxford University. I grew up in Tustin, California, and was born in Allentown, Pennsylvania. 

​

My research in economic history has been featured in The New York Times [1] [2] and The Boston Globe. My poetry, documentary photography, and paintings have been featured in the White House President's Committee on the Arts and Humanities, the Kennedy Center, the Kenyon Review, BOAAT, and the Tupelo Quarterly.
