About Me
About Me
I am an applied microeconomics researcher and PhD student studying video-game markets, virtual economies, and digital goods. My research uses econometric and computational methods to examine how players form markets, choose among differentiated products and strategies, respond to institutional changes, and assign value to virtual assets. My current projects study strategic differentiation and adaptation in competitive Pokémon and market behavior in Counter-Strike cosmetic economies.
I earned an M.S. in Business Analytics and a B.S. in Economics from the University of Central Florida and am currently starting my PhD.
I also create public-facing educational content about statistics and quantitative methods, reaching an audience of more than 45,000 followers on TikTok.
