I am a postgraduate student currently living in Kent, United Kingdom and studying for the MSc in Environmental Economics & Climate Change at the London School of Economics.
I am also grateful to receive funding from the UK Economic & Social Research Council whilst on the Doctoral Training Partnership. Grade permitting, I will become a PhD candidate at the LSE in September 2018.
My greatest achievements so far have been to receive my bachelors degree with first class honours, receive the economics dissertation prize with a grade of 100%, present at two conferences already in my academic career, and to be selected for the ESRC 1+3 scholarship.
I am particularly interested in the green transition. I am a deep thinker and have gained skills in finance, economics, geography and ecology, econometrics, and spatial analysis. I am proficient in QGIS, ArcGIS, STATA, R, EViews, SPSS, Bloomberg and Datastream.

I have gained recognition for my work on the interaction between finance and the environment. My research focus seeks to identify common environmental risk factors in the same breadth of Fama & French (1993) and Fama & MacBeth (1973) - something that has seldom been studied. I am particularly interested in capital allocation and environmental quality. My knowledge on this subject spans from factor investing, indexes, and portfolio management to ESG issues, responsible investment, pricing and incentives. My degree also exposes me to more formal assessments of environmental policy (taxation, efficiency, optimal control, econometrics), partnered with a sound scientific knowledge of the environment.
