I am a PhD candidate at the AISSR in the Department of Geography, Planning and International Development Studies. My research centers on wellbeing economics, with a particular focus on the concept of 'basic safety,' using bottom-up, co-created data from multiple wellbeing dashboards. I am particularly interested in poverty and inequality, viewing them as the root causes of many social issues. Through my work, I aim to explore the multidimensional impacts of poverty, illbeing, and wellbeing on marginalized communities.

With a background in International Development (Research Master’s) and Sociology (Bachelor’s with a minor in Macroeconomics), I engage with wellbeing beyond traditional economic growth models, emphasizing the importance of diverse dimensions in development. I am dedicated to developing and contributing to multidimensional measurement frameworks and system-dynamic models that help analyze the complexities and trade-offs inherent in development processes.

By working with and advancing multiple Wellbeing Dashboards in Amsterdam, I examine how different aspects of development interact, shedding light on potential synergies and tensions. This approach allows for a more comprehensive analysis of what may constitute progress, moving beyond a sole focus on traditional economic indicators.
