Profile:

I graduated from Clarion University of Pennsylvania in 2012 with my Bachelor of Science in Business Administration majoring in Economics. I participated on the Policy Debate Team, Student Senate, College Conservatives, and Sigma Phi Epsilon Social Fraternity. I have published papers and presented at conferences such as The Economic Scholars Program hosted by the Federal Reserve Bank in Dallas, The Pennsylvania Economic Association, Robert Morris University, and so much more. I am currently attending Suffolk University in Boston, Massachusetts to obtain my Doctorate in Economics.
