About me

I am a PhD candidate in development, trade and labour economics visiting from the Paris School of Economics from Jan-June 2024. I am working on trade policy in developing countries, and how it affects the self-employed differently than salaried workers using the used garment supply chain in Rwanda. 

Broadly, I am interested in thinking about the impacts of trade policy: my other projects address its incidence on product quality in developing countries, and its effects on domestic outsourcing, especially individual workers, in richer countries.
