I am a PhD candidate in economics and public policy at Tufts University.  I hold an M.Sc. in Economics from the Stockholm School of Economics and a B.Sc. in Mathematics and Economics from St. Catherine University.

My research examines how institutions, infrastructure, and public policy shape long-run development outcomes in Africa. I study forced displacement, state-society relations, political behavior, entrepreneurship, education, and economic resilience using causal inference and large-scale survey data.
