Dear Visitor,

Thank you for visiting my website!

My name is Stefani Milovanska-Farrington. I obtained my PhD in economics from the University of South Florida in 2018, and currently teach Microeconomics and Marketing at Florida Polytechnic University.

I was awarded a Researcher of the Year Award by the Sykes College of Business at UTampa in 2022; a Teaching Fellow Award by the AEF in 2025; and the James Gwartney Best Educational Note Award by the Association of Private Enterprise Education in 2026. I am an author of a textbook in Microeconomics, and the creator of “Choice: Economics materials for success” on Substack (free worksheets with questions based on recent and interesting news articles designed for Principles of Economics courses). I have previously worked on the latter project in collaboration with the Foundation for Economic Education. I have also previously taught Microeconomics and worked as a Director of Assessment at the University of Tampa, and have created educational resources for MRU and FEE. I am a member of several professional affiliations, a CSWEP liaison for Florida Poly, and an IZA@LISER Research Fellow, serve on the Academy of Economics and Finance (AEF) Teaching Fellows Committee, and am an AEF Director.

My research interests include Microeconomics, Economics and business teaching, Education and Family economics. I have published more than 30 articles in academic journals including The Journal of Private Enterprise, The Journal of Economic Education, Journal for Economic Educators, Journal of Economics Teaching, Int. J. of Pluralism and Economics Education, Economics and Human Biology, Journal of Family and Economic Issues, Education Economics, Journal of Economic Studies and others.

I am also the founder of Love QT (healthy food art for kids ideas to inspire healthy eating and creativity from an early age), and participated in the Spartan Incubator Entrepreneurship Program at the Lowth Entrepreneurship Center at UTampa in 2025.

I have mentored students, guided students’ research projects, served as a judge at student research competitions, and led teacher trainings.

My CV, publications and contact information are available on this website.

Thank you for your interest once again!

Stefani Milovanska-Farrington, Ph.D.
