Energy markets researcher focused on global LNG, natural gas, and commodity markets, with a particular interest in how infrastructure, trade flows, supply disruptions, and geopolitics shape energy security. I use market intelligence, primary-source research, and data analysis to track global gas market developments across North America, Europe, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. My career path began with community-focused nonprofit work and project execution, where I worked on questions of resource allocation, public investment, and stakeholder needs at the local level. Managing initiatives tied to public funding pushed me to ask broader questions about how resources are priced, distributed, and constrained across economic systems. At Yale, where I studied Economics with training in statistics and data science, I carried those questions into coursework and projects on natural resource markets, electricity systems, and policy shocks, which deepened my interest in global commodities.
