I am currently an Economist at the Adam Smith Institute, based in London. I concurrently serve as a Senior Policy Advisor at the New Zealand Parliament.
I previously worked as a Ministerial Advisor (special advisor) to the Deputy Prime Minister of New Zealand, whom I advised on fiscal policy and microeconomics. I have also worked in economic consulting in New Zealand and at a think tank in Singapore.
I hold a first-class degree in History and Economics from the University of Oxford (New College). I also studied at Yale-NUS College in Singapore, while my secondary schooling was at Auckland Grammar School in New Zealand.
