Welcome to my personal website.  I am a Senior Economist with the Poverty and Equity Global Practice at the World Bank.  My current research is primarily focused on building the evidence base necessary to alleviate food insecurity and poverty in fragile and conflict settings.  I also have secondary interests in food security and applied microeconomics more generally.
