Aspiring 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 explore and test interventions that support the development and empowerment of women in low- and middle-income countries. 

I bring seven years of experience designing, implementing and evaluating development programs. My work has focused on Southeast Asia, particularly Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam, though I have also provided consultancy services for projects worldwide. I have contributed to a range of sectors, including public and community health - with experience in non-communicable diseases and mental health, sexual and reproductive health, maternal health, malaria surveillance - and gender and social inclusion in the economic and agricultural sectors. 

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 during the 2025-26 academic year. You can reach me through my personal or university email provided below.
