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) and a Master of Arts in Economics (2013) both from the University of South Carolina. As a graduate student, I was awarded the Darla Moore Foundation Fellowship.
Upon completion of the graduate program, I served as Program Coordinator for the South Carolina Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Office. In 2014, I entered into the PhD program of economics at the University of South Carolina. My research fields of interests are economics of education, labor economics, and public economics. Through research, my goals are to emphasize the important role that education plays in enhancing economic and social outcomes and recommend public policy proposals that induce market efficiency. 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 a student and community leader, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, exercising, and watching classic horror movies!
