I am an Assistant Professor of Economics at Université Laval. My research interests lie in the fields of Econometrics, Social Interactions, and Applied Microeconomics.

Before joining the Department of Economics at Université Laval, I was an Assistant Professor at CY Cergy Paris Université from 2021 to 2025. I hold a PhD in Economics from Université Laval in 2021, an engineering degree in Economics and Statistics from ENSAE Dakar (Senegal) in 2016, and a Bachelor's degree in Statistics from the University of Abomey-Calavi (Benin) in 2013.
