Economist | Researcher | Data Analyst
Embedded Files
I’m an economist, data analyst, and researcher with a second master’s in Economics and five years of experience in economic research, policy analysis, and data-driven decision-making. I enjoy working with data to uncover insights and turn complex challenges into clear, actionable solutions.
Currently, I’m a Research Assistant at Dalhousie University, focusing on finance—especially risk analysis—along with health economics and agricultural transition. My previous roles include data and policy analysis at SBTT, where I supported organizations through market research and policy evaluation. I'm always curious, enthusiastic, and eager to collaborate on projects that make a real-world impact.
Looking forward to new opportunities and collaborations—let’s connect!
