I am a fourth-year PhD Candidate in Economics at the University of Pittsburgh.
I study how policies, social events, and institutional environments shape economic inclusion, equity, and disparities in outcomes.
I use causal inference methods, including quasi-experimental designs, surveys, and lab-in-the-field experiments, to examine a broad range of topics, including financial inclusion, gender, race, health, sports, and labor market discrimination.
Prior to my doctoral studies, I was a predoctoral fellow at African School of Economics and a visiting researcher at Peace Research Institute of Oslo. I hold an M.A. in Economics from University of Pittsburgh and a B.S. in Project Management from Institut Supérieur de Management Adonaï .
