Hi! I am an Economist (YP) at the World Bank and a PhD candidate focusing on urban and environmental economics at the London School of Economics (LSE).

I was a consultant for the World Bank's Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR) and was awarded the World Bank Sustainable Development Fellowship in 2022. 

During my PhD, I taught spatial data analysis using satellite data (GY476) and Environment and Development (GY329) at the LSE and was the convenor for the quantitative spatial model PhD reading group in 2023/2024. I am affiliated with the LSE's Programme for Innovation and Diffusion (POID) and the LSE's Grantham Research Institute focusing on the impact of Net Zero policies on workers.

Before my PhD, I worked 5 years in economic research and policy impact evaluation at the LSE's Centre for Economic Performance and the What Works Centre for Local Economic Growth.  In that time I was also a consultant for the OECD, the Greater London Authority and the private sector.

Always happy to chat to people about the topics of my PhD, don't hesitate to reach out!
