Hi, I’m Ella. I am a PhD candidate in Finance at the Leeds School of Business, University of Colorado Boulder, and I am on the 2026–2027 academic job market. My research interests are in sustainable finance and environmental economics, with a focus on how households, insurance systems and sovereigns respond to climate risk. 

My job market paper, “After the Flood: Migration, Housing and Insurance Adjustment” studies how migration, housing markets and participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) adjusts after local flood exposure in the United States. 

I have worked as an intern at the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) and as a World Bank Group (WBG) Africa Fellow at the International Finance Corporation (IFC).

Outside of research and teaching, I enjoy hiking, skiing, needlework and trying new recipes.
