Office: RRH 344

I am an Assistant Professor of Commerce and the George A. Overstreet Jr. Distinguished Fellow in Real Estate at the University of Virginia’s McIntire School of Commerce. I also serve as the Director of Research at the Household and Urban Finance Lab at UVA.

My research investigates how social interactions, civic engagement, and politics connect household finance, real estate, and urban economics. My work has been published in leading economics and finance journals, including the Journal of Finance, the Journal of Urban Economics, and the Review of Financial Studies, and appeared in a number of prominent media outlets, including the New York Times.

I teach foundations of finance to second year students at McIntire.

Before joining UVA in 2022, I was an Assistant Professor of Finance at the Krannert School of Management at Purdue University. I earned my Ph.D. in Finance from Duke University and my B.S. in Actuarial Science from Purdue University.
