I am a passionate energy economist and a lecturer at the School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) at Johns Hopkins University. Additionally, I am a VP at the U.S. Association of Energy Economics. Before settling into my current roles, I have "dated" multiple sectors of employment, including government, consulting, NGOs, and banking.I hold a Ph.D. in economics and policy from the State University of New York in association with Syracuse University, where I was a Fulbright scholar. My post-doctoral training was at the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland and the University of Maryland, College Park. Having lived in five countries and moved across the Atlantic three times, I now call Maryland home.
