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.

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