About Me

I am a PhD candidate in economics and public policy at Tufts University.  My research interests lie at the intersection of development, labor, and gender economics. I focus on two key areas. First, I explore the effectiveness of both state and non-state actors in shaping development outcomes. My second area of research focuses on identifying factors that enhance the productivity of microentrepreneurs, including the role of networks and AI-driven business advice, particularly for women-led businesses.

I also hold an M.Sc. in Economics from the London School of Economics and Political Science and a B.Sc. (hons.) in Economics from the Lahore University of Management Sciences. 

I am on the 2024/2025 job market.
