Note: This used to be the school page. I’m no longer in school, so I’ve converted it to a post and backdated it to the morning of my graduation. Enjoy!

I am currently a senior Economics major at Carleton College. My academic interests include resource, environmental, and development economics, as well as public policy.

Last summer, I interned in the field of Microfinance with BASIX India. For this, I received a grant through the Initiative for Service Internships in International Development.

In the summer of 2004, I attended the Carleton Economics Seminar in Cambridge, England.
