About

I am an applied microeconomist. My research focuses on public and labour economics, with particular emphasis on income support policies and active labour market programs.

Before my Ph.D., I worked with the Government of Canada, the Government of Ontario, and J-PAL North America. I have partnered with public and non-profit organizations to design evaluations, conduct field experiments, and generate insights from real-world data.

I am motivated by a broader interest in applying causal inference and empirical analysis to evaluate interventions and to inform the design of more effective programs and policies.
