Scholarly Interests:

Political economy, development economics, gender gap.

Teaching Statement:

I strive to encourage students to have an interest in the world around them and show them the ability of economics to explain this world. As an instructor, I convey my enthusiasm for the subject and use important case studies such as financial crises and consequences of neoliberal policies in developing countries to engage students in using the tools of economics. It is important to introduce contrasting ideologies that seek to create a theoretical framework for the events in the world. By knowing different views, students can deal with any information, whether it is in an academic setting or merely evaluating the material presented in the media or the political arena.
