Biography

Born and grown up in Montreal, Canada, I completed a Bachelor’s degree (BSc) and a Master’s degree (MSc) in economics at the University of Montreal. Passionate of international development, I then completed a second Master’s degree (MPhil) in Development Studies at the University of Oxford, focusing my research on microfinance and housing microfinance. I intend to pursue my doctoral studies at the University of Cambridge in economics. More precisely, I intend to use the tools of microeconomics (notably network economics, institutional economics and identity economics) in the building of a theoretical model applied to the study of the construction of information networks and their implications for sociological and institutional change, notably in terms of social norms and identity.
