Teaching Experience
About Me
I am a PhD candidate at the O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs at Indiana University, where my research explores the interplay between governance, fiscal constraints, and service delivery—examining how policy changes and economic pressures shape organizational behavior and community outcomes. My work spans cost analyses, regulatory impact studies, and program evaluations, which I regularly present at leading conferences.
