I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Agricultural and Applied Economics at the University of Georgia. My research overlaps agricultural, labor, and regional economics. I am interested in topics related to U.S. agricultural labor, economic development, and the causes and effects of (im)migration shocks.
