I am an environmental and development economist and a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Center on Food Security and the Environment at Stanford University.

I am on the 2026–2027 academic job market.

My Job Market Paper, Working, but in Slums: Climate Migration and Urban Integration in Africa, examines how drought-induced migrants integrate into African cities. I find that climate-related migration increases the number of migrants who work while living in low-quality housing, particularly in small and secondary cities.

My research investigates how environmental shocks affect households in Sub-Saharan Africa, how they respond through migration and adaptation, and how these responses shape urbanization, agriculture, food security, and health (such as in (MiningLeaks)). I combine novel datasets with quasi-experimental methods to address these questions.

I am also a Research Affiliate at Stanford’s King Center on Global Development and the Paris School of Economics’ International Migration Economics Chair. I received my PhD from the Paris School of Economics and CIRED in 2023.
