Welcome! I am a PhD student in Economics at the University of Manchester. 

I was an intern at the OECD's Centre for Tax Policy and Administration at the Business and International Taxes Unit in 2025. During 2024, I was a PhD Enrichment Scholar at TaxDev at the Institute for Fiscal Studies. 

My research interests are in public finance and development economics.

I will be on the Job Market in Fall 2026.
