I am an economist with research interests in human capital formation, racial inequality, and neighborhood effects. My research investigates topics including early childhood education; how landlords, public housing policy, and wealth influence neighborhood sorting; how beliefs affect neighborhood formation; the drivers of change in the racial wealth gap; and approaches to formally modeling and identifying neighborhood effects.

I am currently a Research Fellow at the Center for Economic Research on Governance, Inequality and Conflict (CERGIC) at the École Normale Supérieure (ENS) de Lyon. I am also an advisor at the Stone Center for Research on Wealth Inequality and Mobility at the University of Chicago, a member of the Editorial Board of the Journal of Economic Literature, and a member of the Board of Directors of Haiti Outreach.

I previously spent 14 years as a research economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, where I served as Director of the Bank's Program on Economic Inclusion during my final three years.

I received a BS in mathematics and a BA in economics and Spanish from Indiana University in 2004, and a PhD in economics from the University of Pennsylvania in 2010.

Beyond my academic research, I am active in mathematics education. I am the Founding Director of The Math Movement, which uses math for social change while running summer camps for middle and high school students. I recently completed a grades 7–12 mathematics textbook to be used as one half of the curriculum for The Math Movement's summer camps; please contact me if you would like a copy of the book to teach math enrichment in your community. I have also partnered with Cleveland's Promise Neighborhood and have evaluated community-driven approaches to development in Haiti.
