I've been incredibly fortunate this year. My goal remains to collaborate with those driving change in lower-income countries, contribute where I can, and deepen our understanding of key challenges, one stone at a time, in this uncertain world. Grateful for what's ahead!

One of the best parts of the job market was meeting faculty whose work I’ve looked up to for years. I learned so much from the conversations and connecting with many inspiring peers—I’m happy to be part of this community!

To @WaveSenegal, who made my JMP project possible: I am so excited to continue working, learning, and brainstorming with you, exploring new innovations to make the digital landscape in West Africa more insightful, transformative, and inclusive.

To the 130+ research team members on the ground in Senegal whose insights have deeply shaped my work: I hope my papers help reflect your narratives, still too often underrepresented.

To the many friends and coauthors who read, debated, challenged, supported, and celebrated with me: you made this happen. I am so lucky to have you.

None of this would have been possible without my incredible advisors and mentors, Ben Olken, Esther Duflo, David Atkin, Tavneet Suri, and Abhijit Banerjee. I couldn't have hoped for a better @MITEconomics team.
