I am a quantitative policy researcher specializing in teacher labor markets, quality, and school finance. Currently, I am a Senior Research Associate at the Annenberg Institute at Brown University and an affiliated researcher with the University of Arkansas and Saint Louis University.
I apply econometrics and data science to real-world education challenges, estimating the causal effects of policy on the teacher workforce and funding equity. My work has appeared in Educational Researcher and Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, and has been covered by The 74 Million and Education Week.

Abstract
School districts across the United States are increasingly adopting the four-day school week,often in the hope of addressing teacher staffing challenges. We examine the effects of the four-day week on teacher recruitment and retention in Missouri, where three in ten districts currently use it. After presenting qualitative data showing that school and district leaders, and teachers, believe the four-day week improves recruitment and retention, we estimate the effects of the four-day week on these outcomes using difference-in-differences models. We find no evidence that the four-day school week improves teacher recruitment or retention.
