Welcome! I am an Assistant Professor of Economics at the Department of Economics, Accounting, and Finance at the School of Management at Marist College.

I am the organizer of the Marist School of Management research seminar series (RSS) for the 2021-2022 academic year.

My research interests are in microeconomic theory - information economics (strategic communication and information design), and the implications of memory imperfections for strategic behavior. Aside from that I am interested in repeated games, experimental economics, and the neuroscience of learning and memory.
