About me
I am a doctoral student currently exploring how agricultural fields have changed over the past decade. As an agricultural economist, I am interested in research questions about structural change, sustainability, and how outcomes differ between groups (e.g., by gender or region). By investigating these topics using spatial data, econometric tools, and machine learning, I aim to contribute insights that support policy and social shifts toward more sustainable and inclusive agricultural systems.
