I am a holistic and strategic thinker, keen observer, and a team player.I am passionate about alleviating poverty and improving quality of life for those at the bottom of the income distribution, particularly through the means of behavioural economics and development economics. I'm particularly interested in how and why people make economic decisions and how different types of scarcity and marginalization impact those decisions. I love to collaborate and learn. I’m currently enjoying my position at Portland Hotel Society learning about the issues affecting people living in poverty in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver.
