Welcome!
I am an Economics Ph.D. Candidate at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC), advised by Professor Jonathan Robinson. My research interests lie in Development Economics, Applied Econometrics, and Bayesian Statistics, with a focus on the economic development of lower-income countries and how technology can help reduce global poverty. My work emphasizes quality upgrading, value chains, technology adoption, and financial inclusion. I was a Visiting Economist at the CGIAR International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI). I have conducted extensive fieldwork in Kenya (36 months), Rwanda (10 months), and Tanzania (1 month).
