Experience
Economist
May 2019 — Present · Washington, DC, US
I serve a dual-role as a Commodity Analyst in the Commodities and Services portion of the Consumer Price Index, with a focus on Bedroom Furniture and Major Appliances, and an Analyst in the Housing section. To improve the CPI, I have also focused my research on affordable housing and age-bias adjustments in housing. I am also a member of several cross-sectional teams that, for example, focus on revising checklists used to collect data for the Consumer Price Index or create strategies for utilizing alternative data sources.
