A native of Tampa, Florida, Anthony discovered his passion for economics in high school. He followed it to the University of South Florida, where he received bachelor’s degrees in economics and political science, and studied at the London School of Economics in the general course. After graduating, he worked for USF Professor, Susan MacManus, as she examined the 2016 presidential election under a microscope, an adventure that culminated in co-authoring the conclusion to Professor Larry Sabato’s post-election roundup, Trumped. He later worked as a research assistant at Pew Research Center, studying income and wealth inequality, educational attainment, student loans, and demographic trends. Anthony interned this summer with the Florida Legislative Office of Economic and Demographic Research. He hopes to return to Washington, D.C., and advance policies that promote financial literacy. In his spare time, he can be found reading an impressive variety of topics, attempting to garden, exploring, and missing the Florida weather.
