About Breyon
I’m an applied economist with a passion for turning complex data into clear, actionable insights. I work with foundations, nonprofits, research firms, and academic institutions to evaluate programs, design research strategies, and inform decision-making—especially in the areas of education, workforce development, and digital learning.
I specialize in helping mission-driven organizations clarify what impact looks like, how to measure it, and how to use that evidence to drive action. Whether I’m crafting A/B tests for EdTech tools, building research agendas for AI-enabled courseware, or translating survey data into strategy for state and local systems, I’m guided by three core principles: clarity, utility, and real-world relevance.
What sets me apart is the blend of rigorous causal analysis, deep policy knowledge, and a consulting mindset. I’ve led large-scale evaluations at Mathematica, supported antitrust and pharmaceutical litigation at Analysis Group, and advised state lawmakers on tax policy. Today, as an independent consultant, I bring that range of experience to help clients move from data to insight to impact.
Born and raised in Columbia, South Carolina, I’m proud to have earned my B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. from the University of South Carolina. Outside of work, you’ll find me playing chess, staying active, rewatching great horror films, or diving into an astrophysics documentary. I believe the best economists aren't just sharp with data—but bold with ideas, clear in communication, and relentless in pursuit of better outcomes.
