Hello! I am a PhD Candidate in Economics at George Washington University and I am on the 2026-2027 job market.

I am an applied microeconomist specializing in urban, development, and environmental economics, with a focus on spatial dynamics in developing countries. My research focuses on spatial determinants of development, urban growth, and environmental policy, particularly in developing countries. I combine tools from urban, trade, and economic geography to study questions with a spatial dimension.
