This is a repository where code and data related to my research on the Main Street Program will be housed.
The objective of this study (a 3-essay dissertation) is to identify the effectiveness of the Main Street Program as a small-scale economic development strategy in small towns and rural communities.
I am a Ph.D. candidate at The Ohio State University’s John Glenn College of Public Affairs. I am currently working on my dissertation, which uses the case of the Main Street Program to explore several questions surrounding local economic development policy. I currently work with Dr. Ned Hill on research related to regional economic resilience and have also worked with the Ohio Manufacturing Institute as a data analyst. I earned a B.S. in geography with a planning concentration and an M.A. in urban studies.
