What I'm looking for

I’m looking to continue leading Monitoring & Evaluation and impact evaluations, using strong economic and econometric analysis to turn high-quality data into clear reports, recommendations, and program learning within mission-driven development work.

I am an Economist with experience in Market Research and Economic Analysis, with a background in industrial organization and competition economics. In my monitoring and evaluation work, I plan, monitor, and manage M&E functions, including the formulation and review of M&E frameworks, while ensuring data collection, data quality assessment, analysis, and report writing.

Most recently, as a Monitoring & Evaluation Specialist for a Ministry of Education and Training project financed by the World Bank, I coordinate annual work plans with finance and component leads, and support evaluations through clear terms of reference where external consultants are required. Previously at the Competition Authority, I provided methodological and quantitative support, conducted economic analysis in competition cases, and delivered quality assurance of third-party expert submissions.
