I graduated from Université de Montréal in August 2020 with a Ph.D. in economics. Before starting my doctoral study, I worked in Cameroon for the government as a senior economist. In my dissertation, I studied the historical determinants of gender roles in Sub-Saharan Africa. My current research interests lie in better understanding the importance of information on culture in low-income countries.

​

My research interests are at the intersection of gender economics, cultural economics, development economics, and economic history.
