Thank you for visiting my website. I am a 6th year PhD candidate in the Department of Economics at Toronto Metropolitan University, and I will be on the job market for the 2026-27 academic year.
My research interests are International Trade, Industrial Organization, Game Theory, and Microeconomic Theory.
Currently, my research focuses on how differences in international regulatory institutions influence countries' decisions to form preferential trade agreements.
