About

As a curious and enthusiastic economist, I strive to grow my knowledge and that of others. Getting things done and innovative thinking helps me through impossible challenges. My desire to use economic insights, and data and to apply my mind as an analyst is a value add to any economic consulting environment. I offer forward thinking and logical inference as an art of ‘rhetoric’ to decode the facts. Creating clear communicable arguments with analogies makes a meaningful impact. Teaching and learning design are part of my ability to well communicate with impact. Offering students in the economics lectures I taught how to apply their minds to concepts gave me rewarding feedback. The tutors trained to help support smaller student groups were another avenue in which I could provide training in teaching and learning skills to others. During my studies my ability to dis-assemble complex concepts to learn how something works was a key aspect of my success in University studies. Detailed-orientated notes and curiosity are attributes by my university colleagues valued.
