I am particularly interested in applied economics and policy with a focus on evidence-informed decision-making to support green economy planning.
I received my Ph.D. from UBC in 2015. Over the past few years, I have worked for the city of Vancouver, University of Victoria (as a post-doctoral fellow and sessional instructor). I am currently working in the BC Ministry of Finance (Treasury Board Staff) to apply evidence-informed decision making to support B.C.'s long-term fiscal sustainability.
