“Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”
Albert Einstein
I am a highly motivated young economist currently working as a junior researcher at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg focusing on development economics, health, and education. I obtained a master's degree in a program of Development Economics at the University of Göttingen and a master's degree in Economic Policy at Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic.
My research agenda is focused on inequities in social health protection. Specifically, I examine the different barriers in social health protection/ health insurance enrolment and utilization to contribute to the understanding of achieving universal health coverage in developing countries.
