I am Salome Ayitey.

I am an economist, researcher, writer, communicator, and lifelong learner currently living in Luleå, Sweden, where I am completing my PhD in Economics at Luleå University of Technology. My work focuses on economics, development, energy, and how evidence can be translated into practical insights for people, communities, organisations, and policy.

But my story is not only academic. I care deeply about people, purpose, faith, mental health, and making complex ideas easier to understand. Whether I am working with data, writing reflections, facilitating conversations, or teaching a small group of friends Swedish, I enjoy creating spaces where people feel informed, encouraged, and seen.

Outside work, I love singing, baking, and trying new recipes. I am also currently learning to swim and cycle slowly, humbly, and with plenty of small victories along the way. My Christian faith shapes the way I see purpose, resilience, healing, and community.
