AEASP 2025 Scholar Adin Hammond

My name is Adin Hammond, and I am pursuing a B.S. in Economics and a B.A. in Mathematics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

The economic challenges faced in my impoverished community back home in St. Louis, Missouri, are what first fueled my interest in economics. I hope to learn more about how to assist low-income communities and encourage economic mobility within them. After completing my Bachelor's degrees in Economics and Mathematics, I plan to work as a Research Assistant at a Federal Reserve Bank. A few years later, I intend to enroll in a Ph.D. program in Economics. My current research interests include health economics and the economics of education, with a focus on higher education.

In my free time, I enjoy staying active, crocheting, doing new hairstyles, and trying new recipes in the kitchen.
