About Me
I'm a PhD Economist and freelance economic policy consultant. I study labor markets, public policy, and inequality, which you can read about on my Research page. I'm an effective communicator and public speaker, which you can read about on my Media/Opinion page. On social media, I post on multiple platforms educational content about economics and public policy, which you can link to via my Social/Keds page.

My name is pronounced [kath]+[rin] [ed]+[words], [kath] rhymes with [math].
