Graduate Application International Network

2020-present, University of Zurich

The Graduate Application International Network (GAIN) is an initiative founded at the University of Zurich to create a pipeline for African students to access graduate programs in economics. After a pilot in collaboration with IPA Kenya in 2019, we have expanded across Sub-Saharan Africa. Our program entails a webinar series to demystify the application process, one-on-one mentoring to help them complete the process, and financial support for application and test fees. I directed the program during 2020 and 2021 and continue to serve as a mentor and strategic advisor.

Herb Scarf Summer Research Program

2017-2019, Yale University

Herb Scarf Summer Research Opportunities in Economics (HSSRO) is a program designed to give Yale undergraduates a chance to explore a career in economic research. Students work closely with professors on every aspect of the research process, from data collection to coding to writing. The program curriculum includes a seminar series by Yale faculty and graduate students, a six-week workshop in statistical programming and research skills, and social events to foster an active community. I helped design the program in 2017 and codirected it for 3 years.
