I'm a Research Agricultural Economist and Conservation Liaison at USDA Economic Research Service. Previously, I was an Associate Professor and Farm Management Extension Specialist at Montana State University. My work has included quantitative data analysis, managing multi-disciplinary projects, and communicating with a wide range of stakeholders through presentations, websites, written materials and one-on-one interactions. 

The topics I cover include risk, agricultural policy, land values, organic agriculture and conservation practices, and pests and diseases.

I am also interested in outreach pedagogy and ways both Extension and agricultural economics can be more welcoming to diverse faculty, staff, and clientele.

I'm based in Montana, but I'm from (and miss!) Vermont.
