What are some causes you care about?
I have a passion for better understanding development issues and being an advocate for effective poverty alleviation in low-income countries. Gender equity, quality and inclusive education, capital efficiency, and institutional framework are some of the issues I am most interested in.
If you could spend a week anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?
Vietnam. The street food is phenomenal, the people are warm and welcoming, and the country offers a diverse mix of nature, cultural heritage, and bustling city life. Iceland is a close second.
