Impact and Learning Manager PhD in Economics

Stanford Impact Labs

Economics Department at Stanford University

Welcome to my webpage!

Starting in the summer of 2024, I'm taking the role of Impact and Learning Manager at the Stanford Impact Labs working on how to measure the potential impact of a diverse portfolio of investments across multiple disciplines aiming to generate social change at scale.

I received my PhD in Economics from Stanford University. My research work broadly studies the challenges faced by low-income countries to develop state capacity. This includes studying decentralization in settings where customary forms of governance co-exist with low-capacity states and policies to improve the human capital and organizational capacity of governments.

My research mostly relies on primary data collection and experimental methods, both for large-scale policy evaluation and field experiments to identify causal mechanisms. I have ongoing projects both in Sierra Leone and Zambia.
