PhD Candidate in Economics - Lecturer/Assistant Professor in Economics
I am a PhD Candidate (ABD) in Economics at Claremont Graduate University. My research interests include International Economics and Development Policy. My current research focus is on the financing of economic development, specifically on the role of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the issues surrounding its lending programs.
I also teach undergraduate and graduate courses in economics on a part-time basis. Currently, I teach in California State University (CSU) Fullerton, CSU Long Beach, Golden West College, Riverside City College and Rio Hondo College. Teaching economics has always been my passion, and I have doing this since 2008.
