I am a Research Associate in the Division of Health Research, in the Faculty of Health and Medicine at Lancaster University (profile), working on the NIHR-funded Community Wealth Building (CWB) evaluation study in Scotland (CoWBELLS). I am a Research Affiliate of the Young Lives Study and the Oxford Department of International Development (ODID).

My research interests are in development economics, health economics, and human capital. My work has examined the long-term effects of early-life exposure extreme climate and environmental shocks on human capital formation and growth, the health impacts of the well-being economy, and the role of sibling spillovers in educational reforms. I am also interested in survey methods, with previous work on issues of measurement and misreporting of sensitive and traumatic experiences of violent armed conflict.

I previously worked as a Research Officer for The Young Lives Research Hub on Climate Change and Environmental Shocks, based at the University of Oxford, and as a Teaching Associate in economics at Lancaster University. I have held Visiting Researcher positions at GRADE and the University of Oxford. Prior to my PhD I worked as a Statistical Officer with the UK Office for National Statistics and as a Research Assistant with HERU at the University of Aberdeen. I hold a PhD, MSc, and MA in Economics from Lancaster University, The University of Edinburgh and Heriot Watt University, respectively.
