Henri Matisse, "Dance" (1909-1910)
Teaching experience + materials for research and mental health
During my PhD, I taught 10 courses: 5 as a teaching assistant and 5 as an instructor. My teaching experience spans all educational levels, from Bachelor's to PhD, including short, intensive coding training. I primarily taught Applied and Theoretical Econometrics and Statistics, covering both introductory and advanced topics.
In addition, below I share a list of research resources that help me as a young economist. I am also a strong advocate for raising awareness for the need to care for mental health during a PhD, and not only.
