I am currently working for the Center for the Economics and Demography of Aging (CEDA) as an Academic Specialist. I work on CEDA projects, but the main purpose of my job is to keep track of the many simulation and forecasting tools developed by CEDA researchers and to make them more accessible to the public and other researchers. I will be working to make simulation and projection programs available over the web, to develop systems for keeping those tools updated with the latest documentation, data, and methodological innovations, and to make different projection/simulation programs work together where possible. Ultimately, the job is about enhancing the sustainability and impact of good research.
Throughout my professional and academic career, I have been interested in quantitative research methods and have contributed to research in various fields such as investment analysis, population forecasting, primate ecology, residential segregation, and education. The links below will take you to my Curriculum Vitae or a one-page resume.

Just to make it worth your while to have visited this page, here's our dog Tessa being made very miserable by having to wear antlers to get her picture taken with Santa. While I consider this the height of animal cruelty (the folks we adopted her from did it, I swear!), it's still a pretty funny picture.
And... I couldn't forget, a quick movie of Jack.
