I am currently a PhD student in the Department of Economics at the University of Michigan. My CV can be found here.

I was previously a research assistant in development economics at the University of Oxford. I was also an economic advisor on the ODI Fellowship Scheme at the Rwandan Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning between 2017 and 2019. I completed an MPhil in Economics at the University of Oxford in 2017 and a BA in Economics at the University of Cambridge in 2015.
