Biograhpy

I am an economist with research interests in social inequalities and policy evaluation. My work lies in applied microeconomics, with a particular focus on labour, health, education, and family economics. A key aim of my research is to inform policy interventions that enhance the well-being of vulnerable groups and promote social mobility. My research has been published in the Journal of Development Economics and the Journal of Health Economics, among other peer-reviewed journals.

I received my PhD in economics from the University of York in 2021 and a master’s degree in economics from Victoria University of Wellington in 2015. I am also a research affiliate at the Economy and Environment Partnership for Southeast Asia (EEPSEA)-University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH), and the Norwegian Institute of Public Health (NIPH). Before joining INVEST in August 2024, I worked as a 3-year postdoctoral fellow at the Centre for Fertility and Health at NIPH, and before that a lecturer in economics at UEH. I was awarded the British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship in 2024.
