"I'm conducting a market analysis on prospective investment opportunities in major energy and transportation infrastructure projects in Canada.
Through this work, I’ve gained a deeper understanding of the Canadian infrastructure landscape, investment considerations, and the diverse mechanisms through which energy and transportation projects are financed and implemented.”
“The solar PV market analysis I am conducting for conflict and post-conflict countries addresses unique financial, regulatory, and security risks. It emphasizes the need to rethink business models to attract private investment and create new pathways for sustainable development.”
“I am currently working on a project that involves conducting interviews with marine ports to assess infrastructure gaps, analyzing survey data, and drafting a report that highlights investment opportunities in the marine sector. The project aims to address critical infrastructure challenges, which are essential for fostering economic growth and enhancing supply chain resilience.”
The YPP was a great experience after studying economic development. It offered an opportunity to mix theory and more applied knowledge, while giving you the resources to form into a consultant. One of my first projects was working on a multimodal transportation master plan in Madagascar. It was a vividly enriching experience, to work from start to finish, and to learn in great detail about transportation and a new culture.
