Greetings! I'm Madison, a dedicated professional with a Bachelor of Commerce degree from the University of Melbourne, where I majored in Economics and Finance. I also hold an honours degree in Economics.At present, I wear two hats in my career journey. Firstly, I serve as a Regulatory Analyst (VPS4) at the Essential Services Commission, applying my expertise to analyze and regulate essential services. Secondly, I contribute as a Research Assistant at the University of Melbourne, engaging in impactful research.My academic path has been marked by excellence, as I achieved first-class honours in coursework and research during my honours year. My most notable research endeavour was a thesis in political macroeconomics, specifically addressing optimal fiscal policies to counter the economic challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.As my career evolved, I transitioned from being the primary technical expert on my team to taking on more substantial responsibilities, including project coordination. Notably, I have played a pivotal role in the publication of the quarterly Victorian Energy Market Report and led the financial viability project for the licensing team. These roles demanded research prowess, collaborative skills, and effective negotiation with diverse stakeholders.Economics is not just a profession for me, it's a passion. I am excited to continue exploring opportunities within the economics realm and contribute to impactful decision-making processes. Let's connect and explore how we can collaborate to make a difference!
