I received my PhD in Economics in 2019 from the University in Nairobi. I previously taught at Strathmore University, Strathmore Institute of Mathematical Sciences and Kenyatta University, School of Economics.
My main research interests are in education, agriculture and gender issues. My previous research work includes estimating the impact of class-size reduction on test scores.
Current ongoing research includes: The use of iBeacon Technology to Track the Distribution of Development Goods in Developing Economies (with Jennifer Hamilton and Daniel Posner).
