About
I am currently a PhD student studying Economics at Toronto Metropolitan University, working under the supervision of Dr. Keyvan Eslami. My research is in international macroeconomics and finance, with a focus on sovereign debt, financial stability, and macro-financial linkages in resource-dependent emerging economies.
Prior to my doctoral studies, I spent four years in assurance and accounting, including at EY, working on audit, financial reporting under IFRS, and credit and covenant analysis. That experience shapes my empirical work: I am focussed on measurement, institutional detail, and data that can be traced back to its source. I hold a Master of Finance from Saint Mary's University and am a CFA Level II candidate.

Dissertation Working Title: Essays on the Macro-Finance of a Post-Default Resource-Dependent Economy: Empirical Evidence from Zambia
Zambia's 2020 sovereign default and subsequent restructuring, its dependence on copper, and its fast-growing mobile money sector make it a natural laboratory for studying how fiscal, external, and financial shocks interact in an emerging economy.
