About

I am a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Economics, University of St Andrews. Prior to joining in 2015, I received my PhD and an MSc in Economics from the Toulouse School of Economics in France. I hold a BA in Economics, with minor in Environmental Studies, from Mount Allison University in Canada. 

My research is in applied microeconomics with a particular interest in education economics, as well as labour economics and development economics. Recent research projects fall broadly under two themes. The first studies the return to university degrees, with a focus on field of study. The second uses the evaluation of educational interventions to shed light on the processes through which education shapes human capital.
