Economics writer & teacherExt-marketing
I speak Mandarin, write about economics, teach English as a second language and study sustainable global development.
How much does economic policy affect your environment and well-being? Probably more than you imagine!
Economic research guides investors and policymakers, but it needs to be useful.
I aim for a 1% improvement everyday in understanding evolving, complex economies and the educational needs of ESL students.
Don't underestimate the power of small steps towards your learning goals.
Similarly, small daily actions move us towards the energy transition and more resilient, circular communities.

Hi all, I've been building businesses in eComm, logistics, manufacturing, and retail for years, and now I am running sales at an AI startup that automates claiming government funding.
