Hey there! I am Berenger Djoumessi Tiague, a PhD graduate from the University of Minnesota in Applied Economics.
I studied topics at the intersection of environmental, development, and agricultural economics.
I currently work as a Research Scientist working at Meta (formerly Facebook) on the Demography & Survey Science Unit – Monetization team.
I am passionate about acquiring new skills that I like sharing with people worldwide via video or written tutorials.
