I am a macroeconomist. I completed my Ph.D. from Louisiana State University in 2018. My interests are open economy macroeconomic models with fiscal policy. My current research uses these policies to examine within country business cycle movements and its outcomes on aggregate business cycles.
I enjoy teaching courses in macroeconomics and international economics. Additionally, my research explores innovative pedagogical approaches in economics, aiming to develop content that not only imparts valuable skills but also resonates deeply with students, fostering their intellectual growth and curiosity.
