Hello!
I am currently an assistant professor (non-tenure track) at the Vienna University of Economics and Business as well as a visiting researcher at the Southern Centre for Inequality Studies at Wits University in Johannesburg.
I use interdisciplinary, mixed-method approaches to study the political economy of development, governance, and political attitudes. I have conducted extensive qualitative research across South Africa and Mozambique, and have worked with USAID, the World Bank, and various NGOs on development projects and impact evaluations.
Outside of teaching and research, I enjoy running, dancing (contemporary, modern), and practicing yoga and meditation.
