I am an Associate Professor in Economics at the University of Reading, having previously completed my PhD at the University of Bristol in 2011. I am part of the Department of Economics and a member of the wider Global Development Research Division.  

For details on my publications and working papers, see my research page.  

My primary research interests lie in the area of applied microeconomics, with a focus on economics of the household, gender, and health and human capital attainment.

In particular, my current research focuses on:

• Domestic violence - causes and consequences

• Maternal education, female labour supply, fertility. and child human capital and health

• Environmental shocks and health/human capital 

I am interested in supervising research students in topics covering applied microeconomics, gender, development, and health. A list of my current PhD students can be found here.
