I study Quantitative Economics and Mathematics at Berea College. Academically, I am interested in development economics, the economics of AI, and econometrics. I am particularly interested in using data and methods like causal inference and machine learning to understand economic problems and what we can do about them.
Outside of academics, I enjoy reading, writing, and meeting new people. I use this website as my little corner of the internet to share my thoughts, personal reflections, notes on books I read, and occasionally my class notes. Feel free to reach out. I'd be happy to connect!

AI can change how we learn, but it cannot replace the most important part of education, which is learning how to think for yourself. That's the least you can do.
