About Vanessa
Vanessa is passionate about strengthening the ability of central banks to respond to global economic shocks. As an economist at the Reserve Bank of Australia, Vanessa’s career has given her the technical foundations and vision to understand how Australia’s monetary policy toolkit must evolve to meet the challenges of an increasingly volatile global environment. Addressing this challenge requires not just quantitative expertise, but also the interdisciplinary breadth and international perspective needed to translate research into effective policy. Vanessa will study a Master in Public Policy at Harvard to develop these capabilities. Post study, Vanessa will return to the RBA and tackle the growing influence of overseas shocks on Australia’s economic outlook, contributing directly to monetary policy decisions and helping to guide Australia’s response to major economic challenges.
