As food security researcher and economic historian, my research focuses on analyzing food security dynamics, assessing humanitarian needs, and reconstructing historical living standards in Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger. I obtained my Ph.D. in African Economic History at Columbia University.

My research has been supported by the SSRC International Dissertation Research Fellowship (IDRF), Columbia GSAS Dissertation Travel Fellowship, Alliance Program, History in Action Program, the African Humanities Initiative.

Prior to the Ph.D., I completed a Master’s in International Economics at Université Paris-Dauphine (Paris IX) and a Master’s in International Political Economy and Development at Fordham University. I was a Peace Corps Fellow at University Neighborhood Housing Program and a Peace Corps Volunteer in Bénin.
