Welcome to my professional portfolio!
As a dedicated researcher with a passion for evidence-based policy and a commitment to poverty reduction, I offer a unique perspective shaped by my journey from Myanmar to the United States. My academic and professional experiences have equipped me with the expertise to drive meaningful change through research and policy advocacy.
Over the years, I have:
Led and managed complex research projects, including nationally representative household surveys, agri-business surveys, and field experiments.
Played a pivotal role in agricultural and rural economic reforms in Myanmar, supporting key government agencies before joining Michigan State University in 2020.
Advanced capacity-building initiatives and policy advocacy through my work with prominent organizations such as Innovations for Poverty Action and the International Food Policy Research Institute.
My journey is driven by a deep-seated passion for research and a belief in the transformative power of data-driven policy. I am committed to advancing the field of agricultural economics and contributing to global poverty reduction through innovative research and strategic policy reform.
When I'm not immersed in research, you'll find me swimming, hiking, and exploring the beauty of nature—activities that refresh my mind and inspire new perspectives in my work.
I invite you to explore my portfolio to learn more about my research, projects, and publications. Let’s connect to discuss how we can collaborate to drive meaningful change in the fields of agricultural and applied economics.
