I'm a Market Research Specialist/Economist (RDSII) at the Department of Toxic Substances Control in the CalEPA.
I am an environmental economist broadly interested in the impact of environmental regulation and the adverse impacts from pollution exposure. I enjoy using big data paired with modern econometrics techniques to address canonical questions in the field. Some of my most recent interest have been PFASr, wildfire smoke, and most recently, microplastics.
