Biography

I am a PhD candidate in Economics at the University of Calgary’s Department of Economics, with research interests in energy and environmental economics, empirical industrial organization, and applied econometrics. Outside academia, I work as a Research Analyst at the Energy Futures Lab, contributing to Alberta’s Electricity Future initiative to help the province transition toward a net-zero electricity grid. I’m passionate about applying data-driven research to develop practical policy solutions for a cleaner, more sustainable future.
