### Research Professional to Professor James Heckman, Economics Department @ The University of Chicago Economics Department
Jan 2013 – Jan 2014 | Chicago
At one point I wanted to get a PhD in economics and become an academic. Although my career path has changed, I remain passionate about economics. 

I worked as a research assistant to Professor James Heckman at the University of Chicago. Our research focused primarily on human capital and the returns to education. How can we effectively prepare citizens for the transition to a primarily high-skilled labor market? At what ages can education policy make the most impact? How changeable is IQ? personality? What is the rate of return for different education policies. How much would the government have to spend to facilitate a smooth transition to a high skilled labor economy?

My primary duties were programming economic models and wrangling datasets with Python, R, Stata, and MATLAB, as well as writing and presenting research papers at workshops and seminars.
