I am a first-year PhD student in Economics at UC Santa Cruz. My current interests within economics focus on applied microeconomics in development, environment and climate topics. I am deeply interested in how effective markets and policy (taxation, regulation) can be created to manage natural resources. From 2022-24 I was privileged to work as a Policy Economist in London, UK at the International Growth Centre and a Pre-Doc at the LSE Department of Economics. From 2019-2022 I worked at Vivid by McKinsey & Company (formerly Vivid Economics).
