I am a final year PhD candidate from The Free University of Bolzano, Italy, looking to start my career in the areas of public policy evaluation, crime reduction, and individual privacy protection.

Originally from Banjulinding, The Gambia, I moved to Italy in 2019 to pursue a master’s degree in Economics and Finance at the University of Naples, Federico II. 

I am passionate about conducting research that produces actionable results to inform evidence-based policies that significantly improve social outcomes in areas such as crime reduction, privacy and civil liberties protection, national security, health, and education. 

This led me to pursue a PhD program at the Free University of Bolzano, where I am honing empirical methods for evaluating how public policy can be optimized to improve social outcomes.

I strongly believe that with evidence-based policy research I can positively contribute to the development of my society. Which is why, in the next phase of my career, I intend to continue developing my research skills in this area.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and playing football (soccer) with friends on weekends. I’m always open to new experiences, cultures, and perspectives.
