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), from the University of South Carolina.
I am 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 primarily centered in the fields of education and labor economics, and social policy more broadly. 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, playing chess, and watching classic horror movies!
