Associate at RBB Economics

February 2021 - Present • Johannesburg, South Africa

Competition economics is a combination of economics and law, and plays a significant role in advising on merger, acquisitions, and anticompetitive behaviour. My work largely focuses on data analysis, extracting insights from the analyses and drafting reports for clients.

Education:

University of Cape Town

2016 - 2020

Although initially starting out with an academic focus on statistics and computer science, I soon found myself drawn to economics, therefore switching the latter with economics. Specifically, I was captured by the multifaceted nature of economics as a social science, drawing on strands of sociology, politics, and psychology. My focus is microeconomics, econometrics, and experiments.
