Profile

“My PhD thesis focuses on the origins of The Bahamas as an international financial services center, but most of my scholarly work thus far has been qualitative. PRIB was a great opportunity to shape my quantitative skills to support my research points.”

"My MPIF experience helps me better communicate economic uncertainty while also providing as much context as possible to help readers make sense of the marketplace."

“I want to visit as many countries as I can—not to sightsee, but to get to know the local people, exchange knowledge, and learn about their challenges to improve my work in international development.”

“Chicago is part of me—the food, the lifestyle, the neighbors, the accent. It has the energy of New York boiled down with midwestern flair. There’s no other place that feels that way to me.”

“Every data point is related to a real issue—or person—in society, and I don't want to ever forget that. It's critical if you want to make good policy recommendations."

“Learning to write better is a never-ending process, so you must take on opportunities to improve it and continue to build on those skills to be a better policy communicator.”
