I am a development economist whose research agenda seeks to answer policy-relevant questions. My work and research interests are in labor economics, gender, education, impact evaluation, and applied econometrics. I am interested in opportunities that combine policy-driven research to promote inclusive growth and poverty reduction in low- and middle-income countries.

I currently work as an Economist at the United Nations Development Programme. Prior to joining the UNDP, I worked for the Inter-American Development Bank and The World Bank. I hold a Ph.D. in Applied Economics from the University of Minnesota and a M.Sc. in Economics from University College London.
