What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my analytical skills in a collaborative environment focused on impactful economic research.

I am an experienced economist currently pursuing a Master’s in Economics at the University of Barcelona. My hands-on experience in empirical research and data analysis has equipped me with the skills necessary to conduct econometric analysis using tools like Stata and EViews. I have a strong interest in contributing to data-driven economic research projects that can influence public policy and development economics.

During my tenure as an Economic Officer at the Ministry of Finance in Ghana, I successfully forecasted economic growth and developed macroeconomic models in collaboration with Statistics Norway. My role involved conducting policy research, preparing reports for the National Budget, and organizing seminars to share research findings. I am dedicated to using my analytical skills to identify key economic trends and propose effective solutions.
