Research/Creative Interests
I study how key economic relationships change over time, using data to better understand topics like how oil prices affect the economy and how exchange rates are determined.
Teaching Philosophy
Effective teaching starts with meeting students at their current level and helping them make steady progress toward meaningful learning goals. I emphasize clear explanations, active engagement, and a supportive environment where all students can actively learn and grow.
