This is an appropriate photo of me looking reflective and concerned, but not too aloof.

Hello there! I’m a DPhil (PhD) student in Economics at the University of Oxford and New College, where I also obtained an MSc in Economics for Development.

My work is mainly centered on development economics, including broader issues such as the political economy and impact of international aid, which I blog about, and smaller, micro-issues such as intrahousehold distribution, ethnic interactions and land rights.

I am a former ODI Fellow, having recently worked for two years as a budget officer in the Ministry of Finance for the Government of Malawi.

I am also an amateur film director, and some of the films I have produced can be found here.

My CV is here.
