About
I am an economist and PhD candidate at the University of Pretoria. I work on how environmental pressure, employment structure and migration shape economic opportunity in sub-Saharan Africa.
Most of my time is spent on getting insights from large datasets, such as administrative data and survey data (QLFS, LSMS, Census). Alongside my own research I build the cleaning documentation that other researchers use.
