I am currently a final-year BSc Economic History and Geography candidate at the London School of Economics (LSE). At LSE, I was the first student to receive both the Lilian Knowles Prize for the Best Set of First-Year Marks and the Baines Prize for the Best Mark in EH101. In 2025–26, I was a visited Harvard College, where I studied economics and was an affiliated undergraduate fellow at the Institute for Quantitative Social Science. Before beginning my studies at LSE, I was also offered a fully funded undergraduate place at the University of Tokyo through the University of Tokyo Scholarship.
My academic interests centre on environmental economics, with a broader interest in economic development. I aspire to conduct research that informs public policy and contributes to environmentally sustainable development. Alongside my academic work, I currently lead a research team at the Charles Rivers Economic Labs, where I collaborate with the Asian Development Bank on sustainable transport infrastructure and climate resilience, assessing how adaptation investments can reduce flood damage and road closures in Papua New Guinea.
