IMF RESEARCHER

I am a Senior Economist in the African Department of the International Monetary Fund and an Adjunct Lecturer in the Department of Economics at the University of Maryland, College Park. My research interests are macroeconomics with a focus on energy, commodities, and natural resources as well as growth and development. In my position in the African Department, I serve as senior lead economist on the Burkina Faso desk. Burkina Faso is one of the most challenging IMF program countries. Before joining the African Department, I worked in the Commodities Unit of the Fund's Research Department, where I also contributed to a one-off mission to Guinea. I worked for the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas from 2014 to 2021. I hold Masters degrees from Sciences Po Paris and Free University Berlin, and a PhD economics from the University of Bonn, Germany.
