Welcome! I am a Research Fellow of Environmental Economics in the Department of Geography and Environment and the Global School of Sustainability at the London School of Economics. My research lies at the intersection of development, environmental, and resource economics, with an emphasis on sustainable development policy. I use geospatial impact evaluation methods to study how development programs and public policies affect people and the environment.

I also serve as a consultant with the Independent Evaluation Group at the World Bank as well as sit on the board at Health Media Labs (Washington D.C.), where we provide expertise in social and behavioral research for multilateral and international development organizations. 

Please find my CV here. I am on the 2025/26 job market.
