About Breyon
A native of Columbia, South Carolina, I graduated from C. A. Johnson High School in 2008. I received a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science (2012), a Master of Arts in Economics (2013), and a Ph.D. in Economics (2019), all from the University of South Carolina.
I currently serve as a Researcher with Mathematica Policy Research. Previously, I served as an Associate with Analysis Group, Inc. and as a Program Coordinator for the South Carolina Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Office. As an applied microeconomist, my research is broadly in the fields of labor economics and social policy. Through research, my goals are to emphasize the important role that education plays in enhancing well-being and recommend public policy proposals to that aim. I am happy to be affiliated with both the Ph.D. Project and the American Economic Association's Pipeline Mentoring Program. I also served as an AEA Summer Fellow with the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston in 2017.
Aside from my responsibilities as an economist, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, reading, exercising, and watching classic horror movies!
