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.
In addition to my academic pursuits, I bring over three years of experience in development and humanitarian contexts, specializing in implementation research. 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 health, with a focus on Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs), sexual and reproductive health, maternal health, malaria surveillance, and mental health. Additionally, I have worked on gender and social inclusion within 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.
