I am an Assistant Professor of economics at University Canada West in Vancouver, Canada. I also serve as a sessional lecturer at UBC Sauder School of Business. I received my PhD in economics from the University of Calgary, followed by a postdoctoral role at UBC Sauder.
My research expertise encompasses international trade, energy and environmental economics, and productivity growth. I place a strong emphasis on utilizing data and empirical evidence to shape policy recommendations.
As a dedicated educator, my goal is to create an inclusive, respectful, and engaging learning environment that helps students from different academic backgrounds and cultures develop a deep understanding and appreciation for economic theories and concepts in a way that welcomes their unique perspectives and experiences. I received the regional ACBSP Teaching Excellence Award in 2023.
