Welcome! I am an economist with 7 years of experience in quantitative analysis and statistical programming (R, Python, SQL). My expertise focuses on applying time-series econometrics to conduct economic forecasting and nowcasting. I am interested in using complex data to conduct research on the dynamics of financial markets and macroeconomics. I also conduct research using approaches to textual analysis. I am enthusiastic about supporting business decision-making and and presenting results to technical and non-technical audiences.

Nowcasting is the prediction of the present state of the economy with real-time data. My current research focuses on nowcasting U.S. recessions using a novel high-frequency news-based sentiment index and real-time macroeconomic data at mixed frequencies. I also study the asymmetrical effects of monetary policy.
