Teaching Experience:

I have worked as a graduate assistant instructor at Florida State University (FSU) from Summer 2002 to Spring 2004 and currently, starting in Fall, 2006. In addition, I have been an adjunct instructor at Florida A&M University (FAMU) and a member of the faculty of Lithuania Christian College (LCC) in Klaipeda, Lithuania during Spring 2000. In Summer 2004, I was a teaching assistant with the American Institute on Political and Economic Systems (AIPES) in Prague, Czech Republic.

Research and Work Experience:

I am currently a Quinn Fellow/research assistant with experimental economics at Florida State University. Tasks include Z-tree programming, subject recruitment, and running experiments in the laboratory. I was also an organizer for the xs/fs Conference on Social Dilemmas which occurred in February 2008.

I was an economist with the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Division of Industry Productivity Studies from March 2005 to September 2006. My primary project involved translating productivity of capital stock programs from Fortran77 and TSP into SAS. I also undertook the task of updating the theoretical model of capital used in developing future capital stock estimates.
