I joined GDI in 2023 as Lecturer in Global Development, with a focus on Global Political Economy. Previously, I taught at the London School of Economics and Political Sciences (LSE) and at the University of Edinburgh. 

My research focuses on the intersection between China’s outward economic engagement and Africa’s development trajectories. I study the internationalisation of Chinese capital in the African infrastructure, trade, and mining sectors, placing particular emphasis on roles of transnational networks in fostering the spatial expansion of Chinese companies.

I obtained my PhD in African Studies at Edinburgh as part of the ERC-funded "African Governance and Space" (AFRIGOS) Project led by Prof Paul Nugent. My doctoral project explored the internationalisation of Chinese state-owned companies in Kenya’s infrastructure sector.

I have also worked as a consultant in the private sector and for government bodies, including the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office.
