Welcome to my website! (გამარჯობა! 🇬🇪)

I am a Ph.D. Candidate in Economics at Johns Hopkins University. Prior to joining Johns Hopkins, I received my B.S. in Mathematics-Economics and Accounting from Furman University in 2019.

My main research interests: macroeconomics, monetary economics, and international macroeconomics and finance.

I spent the summer of 2021 at the National Bank of Georgia, the summer of 2022 at the International Monetary Fund (FIP), and the summer of 2024 at the Deutsche Bundesbank. 

I will be joining the College of the Holy Cross as an Assistant Professor of Economics in Fall 2025.

Outside of work, I love playing chess, going for long walks, and exploring new places.
