I am a political economist working at the intersection of economics, politics, and representation.

​

My academic and professional work focuses on understanding how economic structures influence power, identity, and opportunity, and how these systems are represented in policy, media, and institutional frameworks.

​

I work across teaching, research, and writing, with a commitment to making complex ideas accessible without losing analytical depth.

​

My work spans:

  • Political economy and institutional analysis

  • Representation in economic and policy systems

  • Public writing and academic scholarship

  • Teaching and curriculum development

  • Research-informed commentary on contemporary issues

  • ​

I am particularly interested in how ideas travel between academia, policy, and public discourse and how they shape real-world outcomes.
