Development Economist & Gender Equality Advocate with a commitment to translating research into action for social change

As a Ph.D. candidate in development economics at the University of Groningen, I am passionate about applying experimental methods to design and evaluate interventions that promote inclusive and sustainable development. My work focuses on supporting individuals in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) to live more empowered and fulfilled lives, contributing to broader goals such as gender equality, well-being, and access to opportunities. 

I bring seven years of experience designing, implementing, and evaluating development programs, as well as translating evidence into policy-relevant guidance. I have worked across diverse LMIC contexts, including Thailand, Myanmar, Vietnam, Bangladesh, Uganda, and Ghana.

My work focuses on micro-level development economics and spans multiple sectors, including public and community health, covering non-communicable diseases, mental health, nutrition and food security, sexual and reproductive health, maternal health, and malaria surveillance, alongside gender and social inclusion in economic and agricultural systems, as well as livelihoods and rural development.

Throughout my career, I have collaborated with a wide variety of stakeholders, including grassroots organizations, Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), NGOs, UN bodies, governmental agencies, and donors.

Driven by the goal of translating research into tangible action for social change, particularly for marginalized and vulnerable groups, I am committed to making a meaningful impact in the field of development economics and gender equality advocacy.

I am actively on the job market, exploring opportunities at the interface of research and policy. You can reach me through my personal or university email provided below.
