What I'm looking for

I seek research-focused roles that allow me to apply quantitative methods to policy and development challenges, collaborate internationally, publish, and mentor students.

I am a multidisciplinary economist with over six years of experience in research, teaching, and policy engagement across international, regional, and national institutions. I produce rigorous empirical analyses, harmonize cross-country datasets, and communicate findings through clear reports, publications, and conference presentations.

My work includes leading sector and industry analyses, contributing to collaborative projects such as Familydemic, and supervising undergraduate and graduate students; I am proficient in Stata, SPSS, MATLAB, Python, R (fundamental), GIS, and EViews, and I hold advanced degrees including a PhD (in progress) in Economics and Finance.
