My life as an economist and educator has been fueled by the conviction that even the most complex economic problems can be understood through modeling and analysis. I discovered my passion in unraveling optimization and equilibrium problems, employing graphical representations to demystify seemingly chaotic systems. In my role as an educator, I create an engaging and intense learning environment, inspired by unconventional films like "School of Rock" and "Miracle." These movies, though non-traditional, effectively achieve their goal of imparting knowledge and igniting a love for learning and success as a team. My teaching philosophy centers around hard work and dedication. I set high expectations for my students but maintain open lines of communication via direct messaging, being available to answer questions anytime, whenever I am not watching my kids play soccer, sharing a meal with my family, or sleeping… As a contributor to the Engagements student experience, I hope to show the beauty and complexity of economic concepts by creating 3D models in virtual reality.
