Welcome to my website!
A first-generation Assistant Professor of Economics at Governors State University in University Park, Illinois, USA. With a Ph.D. in Economics from Colorado State University (USA), an MSc in Economics from Umeå University (Sweden), an MBA from Copperbelt University (Zambia), and a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Zambia.
I like Development Economics, particularly early childhood conditions and child poverty, but I am also open to new research areas. My Ph.D. dissertation investigated the link between access to services and later life outcomes in some low- and middle-income countries. I'm excited to start new research projects. I am especially committed to issues related to three themes: expanding my ongoing development economics projects and African development.
When not doing academia, I like to travel with my lovely wife, Michelo. I enjoy good food, often motivated by food TV shows. I wish I made my own music because I enjoy the melodies in my head more.
