Leah Cuyno

Leah Cuyno
Senior Economist

Leah Cuyno joined Northern Economics in May 2001. She earned a doctoral degree from Virginia Tech and a master’s degree from Michigan State University, both in Agricultural and Applied Economics with a specialization in environmental economics. Leah’s dissertation research involved assessing the risks of pesticide use on human health, non-target species, and the environment, and determining society’s willingness to pay to reduce these risks. For her master’s thesis, she developed a framework for evaluating the cost-effectiveness of a nonpoint source pollution control program in Michigan. Prior to joining Northern Economics, Leah worked as an economist for a non-government organization specializing in resource economics and environmental policy in the Philippines.

Leah’s work at Northern Economics focuses on assessment of economic and fiscal impacts of infrastructure/development projects. Her field of interest is in the energy sector and she has been closely involved in oil and gas issues and rural energy issues in Alaska.

Why Alaska: I moved to Alaska in 2001 because of Northern Economics. At that time, that was the burning question in my mind—why Alaska? Having grown up in a warm, tropical place, I knew that the winters would be challenging. I survived 13 years of Alaska winter. I now work in the Seattle office of Northern Economics and while I enjoy being here I constantly think about Alaska and the things I miss—looking at the mountains through my old office window, x-country skiing, wildlife encounters, hiking, running the Twilight 12K with my co-workers, and most of all my Alaska friends. I will always cherish my years in the Anchorage office.

Idea of fun: Exploring new places on a bike or on foot.

Curious About: Why there are silent letters in the English language. I’m told there’s a P in pneumonia, M in mnemonic, K in knowledge….
