Who am I ?

I come from Bayonne, in the Basque country, France, where I grew up (in particular, in the small and beautiful town of Hasparren). I completed high school and my first two years of University in Bayonne, before going to Toulouse to finish my bachelor degree in Economics (in France, the system is a bit different. A bachelor does not really exist, it is called a “licence” and takes 3 years to complete) and get my Master’s degree in economic theory and econometrics. I continued on a PhD in Economics at Simon Fraser University, in Burnaby, BC, Canada, and recently graduated. I have to say, I am pretty proud of it! You can find here a document where I talk about my experience.

Outside of school, I have broad interests. I wouldn't call myself an expert in many domains, but there definitely are activities I am well versed in. This section aims at sharing some of these activities, and informing about them, as many will be unfamiliar to the casual reader. 

Among topics of interest to me, you will find Basque pelote, skateboarding, cooking and card magic. But it does not end there!
