I am a Ph.D. candidate in Economics at Texas Tech University, where I also serve as an Instructor of Record for Principles of Microeconomics.  

My primary research interests are in environmental and energy economics and international trade, with additional research experience in firm-level financialization and corporate investment. My dissertation examines the economic, trade, and environmental implications of the European Union’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), combining empirical analysis with general equilibrium modeling. More broadly, I am interested in how environmental and energy policies shape international trade, economic welfare, production, and firm behavior.  

At Texas Tech University, I have taught several introductory economics courses, including Principles of Microeconomics, Principles of Macroeconomics, and Principles of Economics. My teaching emphasizes clear economic intuition, real-world applications, and connections to current issues in energy, trade, and economic policy.
