Welcome to my website!
I am passionate about economic research that supports evidence-informed policymaking and teaching economics. I am a Ph.D. in Economics student at Kansas State University. I have an M.A. degree in Economics (2020) and a B.A. degree in Development Economics (2017) from Makerere University.
I previously worked with the Economic Policy Research Centre, Uganda's leading economic think tank. I primarily work on public finance, macroeconomics, and trade (domestic and international). I am also interested in regional integration, (international) political economy, and development economics (labor markets, health economics, digital financial inclusion, and food security). My work is published by the International Monetary Fund, Southern Voice, the Economic Policy Research Centre, Renewable Energy, the International Journal of Educational Development, and the African Development Review.
I am a member of the American Economic Association, the American Political Science Association, the Ugandan Economic Association, and the International Association for Feminist Economics. I seek collaboration with economists, sociologists, political scientists, psychologists, and statisticians working on economics-related issues to extend the frontiers of knowledge and contribute to improving people's lives.
