About Me
I am a Ph.D. candidate in Economics at UCD, specializing in Economics of Education (primary field) and Labour Economics (secondary field). My research focuses mainly on human capital formation and development throughout the life cycle, and its broader implications for society. I like to think about models and how to better translate lived experiences into mathematical forms. I am supervised by Professor Kevin Denny. I do most of my data analysis in R, and I have a thing for charts, plots, and diagrams. Proponent of #MarketsInEverything.
