"Hi there! Trying to make sense of economics, public policy, quant methods, or GIS? While challenging, seeing these subjects click is incredibly satisfying. I'm here to help you get there.

My academic journey equipped me with advanced tools. It started with a Bachelor's in Economics at UNC Chapel Hill (including insightful summer study at LSE) and culminated in a Georgia Tech Ph.D. in Economics specializing in international trade, network theory, and cutting-edge geospatial economics. Master's degrees in Economics (GT, IU), Public Policy (BSE), and GIS&T (GT) provide deep, interdisciplinary expertise.

For over 10 years, I've worked with learners at all levels – high school, college, grad school, even professionals wanting to enhance their skills. As a Georgia Tech instructor and CETL Teaching Fellow, I focused on improving learning effectiveness, especially online (drawing on experience with Duke Fuqua, Campus.edu). Honestly, seeing that lightbulb go on for a student is still the best part.

My path wasn't smooth; transitioning from homeschool to college required teaching myself how to learn effectively. It taught me everyone learns differently, so my focus is finding what works for you.

I enjoy working with diverse learners on their path. I can help you master coursework in Econ, Policy, Stats, or GIS. But I particularly enjoy guiding research: brainstorming ideas, planning studies, structuring a thesis, or mastering the needed quantitative/geospatial tools.

My goal? Build your understanding, critical thinking, and confidence. If you're ready to dig in and achieve your goals, let's connect!" less...
