I am an economist and recently completed my Ph.D. in Economics at the Department of Economics at the University of Houston. Prior to joining the University of Houston, I received a Master's in Mathematics, Statistics, and Economics from the African School of Economics.

I am on the 2026-27 Job Market.
My research interests are in Applied Microeconomics, particularly Development Economics, Education Economics, and Labor Economics. I am also interested in migration and intergenerational mobility, especially in how education and labor market opportunities shape socioeconomic outcomes across generations. In my job market paper, I leverage newly harmonized household survey data from multiple West African countries to revisit long-standing questions in intergenerational mobility.
