Bio

Welcome! I recently completed my Ph.D. in Economics at the University of South Florida and will be joining Johns Hopkins University as a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Poverty and Inequality Research Lab.

I also hold a Master’s and Bachelor’s degree in Economics. Prior to my Ph.D., I worked in economic research and credit policy roles at government agencies in Azerbaijan.

My research interests are in labor economics, gender, migration, and mental health, with a particular focus on the effects of remote work in the U.S. context. My current work examines how changes in work arrangements shape migration decisions, gender gaps in labor market outcomes, and broader economic and social well-being.

I enjoy teaching economics in a way that is clear, structured, and connected to real-world issues. I have taught courses in microeconomics, macroeconomics, and labor economics, and I aim to create an engaging and supportive classroom environment for students.

Beyond research and teaching, I have been actively involved in academic service. At USF, I coordinated the Ph.D. seminar series in the Department of Economics and contributed to student-led initiatives, including leadership roles in cultural and academic organizations.
