CV I am an Assistant Professor of Economics at Vassar College.  I joined the department in 2007 after finishing my Ph.D. at the University of Maryland. 

My research is in the area of development and finance. 

My current work looks at entrepreneurial choice and the use of formal credit by poor, urban households.  I am interested in the low use of formal credit, particularly microfinance, by poor microentrepreneurs and potential demand side explanations for this phenomena.
