Huong Ngoc Vu

Experienced researcher in economic modelling, data analysis, and programming using MATLAB and R. Skilled in working with large datasets such as the IDI and Refinitiv Eikon, and in developing models for fiscal and economic policy analysis. With seven years of experience as a lecturer, I have a proven ability to translate complex technical findings into clear, actionable insights for policymakers and to collaborate across interdisciplinary teams. I am eager to apply these skills as a Quantitative Analyst to support Te Tai Ōhanga in raising living standards for everyone in Aotearoa.
