Personal profile
Biography
I am a PhD Candidate at The School of International Development. My research is focused on evaluating the impacts of the mining industry on rural communities’ welfare in Peru. This research has mainly a quantitative approach, using quasi-experimental methods such as PSM and double-difference.
My main research interests are in the fields of extractive industries, impact evaluation, ESG, stakeholder engagement and economic valuation of environmental impacts.
As part of my journey at UEA, I have supported academic activities as Associate Tutor for the module Qualitative Research Analysis (DEV-7036B). I have also collaborated with peer review activities for the Journal of Development Studies Research. I am currently working as Research Assistant for the project Ethiopian Diaspora in Higher Education.
With regards to my professional experience, I worked in the development of Environmental and Social Impact Assessment reports in the mining, oil, and gas industries in Peru, Kenya and the UK. I conducted several fieldwork activities and participated in consultation events and workshops with local key stakeholders. I worked with multidisciplinary teams to deliver socioeconomic baselines, socioeconomic impact assessment reports, cost-benefit analysis reports, ecosystem services baselines and economic valuation of environmental impacts for the mining, oil, and gas sectors.
