About Me
Welcome! I am a Visiting Assistant Professor of Economics at the College of Wooster.
My research interests are in development, labor, and gender economics. Broadly, my work focuses on two areas. First, I examine how both state and non-state actors influence development outcomes, with particular attention to the role of non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Second, I study the factors that enhance microentrepreneur productivity, including the impact of networks and AI-driven business advice, especially for women-led enterprises.
I earned my PhD in Economics and Public Policy from Tufts University. Before that, I worked as a researcher at the Center for Economic Research in Pakistan and completed my master’s in Economics at the London School of Economics and Political Science.
I am on the 2025/2026 job market.
