I am an economist specializing in agriculture, health economics, and econometrics. I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Economics at the University of Dar es Salaam, under the guidance of Dr. Innocent Pantaleo and Prof. Deograsias Mushi. My research focuses on health insurance. My academic journey includes a master’s degree in economics from the same university, where he investigated the determinants of diarrhoeal morbidity among Tanzanian children. Prior to this, I earned a bachelor’s degree in economics from Ardhi University, with a concentration in economic analysis and a minor in agriculture economics, reflecting his early interest in agricultural dynamics.

My professional experience includes impactful roles such as Project Manager at the Economic and Social Research Foundation (ESRF) and Research Analyst at Talanta International Ltd. Notable projects I spearheaded at ESRF include initiatives funded by IDRC and ESRC, addressing critical issues such as healthy diets, industrialization in agriculture, and the impacts of taxation on obesity prevalence. My expertise in econometrics and statistical analysis is complemented by my contributions to publications like "Determinants of Soil Conservation Technologies among Small-Scale Farmers in Tanzania" and "Socioeconomic Determinants of Diarrhoeal Morbidity among Children in Tanzania." 

My research interests are Impact Evaluation Methodologies, Economics, Health Economics, Agriculture Economics
