I am a Senior Economist in the Western Hemisphere Department of the International Monetary Fund.
My research focuses on social unrest, inflation, and fiscal policy.
I have previously worked in the Fund's Research, Fiscal Affairs, and Middle East and Central Asia Departments, where I covered Afghanistan and Iran.
Prior to joining the Fund, I worked at the Bank of England.
