My main research interests lie in the fields of development economics, natural resource economics, and political economy, particularly the impact of conflict on the economy.

I hold a master’s degree from Duke University. Prior to joining Oxford, I worked with the London School of Economics as a Country Economist to help build the capacity of Myanmar through rigorous research and policy engagement on pressing challenges affecting the state. I managed research projects on political economy, cities, public finance, natural resources, migration/remittances, and public service delivery.
