Hi there!

Welcome to my site

Feel free to have a look around to learn about my research, experience, skills and how we could potentially work together.

Bio

I am a Lecturer in the Department of Economics at the University of Pretoria. My research interests are in industrial organisation and competition economics.

I hold a master’s degree in Econometrics (with distinction) from the University of Pretoria and I’m currently studying towards a PhD in Economics at the same institution


I previously worked at Genesis Analytics, a leading African economic consulting firm, where I worked on a number of South African competition and regulatory economics projects.
