I’m a consultant economist at the World Bank working on macro climate modeling. As part of MINDSET, I help build and estimate a global simulation model evaluating how climate shocks and mitigation policies affect the global economy. I am currently applying the model to analyze macroeconomic and climate impacts for Tajikistan’s Long-Term Low-Emissions Development Strategy 2050.

My research areas include applied macroeconomics, inclusive growth, and labor and demography. I am especially interested in how structural transitions reshape labor markets and how the associated costs and benefits are distributed across workers. A related paper on the gendered employment effects of climate mitigation in emerging economies is forthcoming in the Journal of Economic Policy Reform.

Prior to this, I was a post-doctoral fellow at the Institute for Women’s Policy Research and a research consultant at the Gender Innovation Lab. Earlier, I contributed to gender-aware CGE modeling with the Care Work and the Economy project at American University.

I hold a Ph.D. and M.A. in Economics from American University and a B.A. in Economics from Mount Holyoke College.
