I have more than a decade of experience teaching economics, in person and online, in the United States and Pakistan, with courses ranging from introductory principles and core intermediate theory to specialized upper-level electives. I use data-driven and case-based methods, informed by training through AEA EDUCATE and Harvard Business Publishing Education, to connect economic theory to real-world policy questions with current data and examples from my own research and consulting. Beyond the classroom, I mentor students in applied economic research and analytics for public- and private-sector clients and have supervised senior undergraduate theses.
