What I'm looking for

I am seeking research or data-focused roles in development economics or policy, emphasizing field surveys, rigorous data analysis, and collaborative teams that value evidence-based policymaking and professional growth.

I am an MPhil economist focused on applied development research, with a thesis on the nexus between energy subsidies and fiscal deficits. I combine academic training with hands-on data analysis skills (STATA, R, Power BI) and a solid foundation in survey methods.

I have supported policy and field research at a national research institute, conducted large-scale school and household surveys using ODK, and contributed to policy-oriented reports and publications. I deliver rigorous data collection, clear technical writing, and actionable insights for evidence-based policymaking.
