Welcome to my website!
I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at University College Dublin, M.Smurfit Business School, where I work as part of the Working in Ireland Survey team — a national survey of employment, working conditions and wellbeing across the Irish labour market. I am also an External Visitor at the Population Studies Center, University of Pennsylvania.
I am an applied microeconomist working at the intersection of health economics, demography and labour economics. My research centres on how economic conditions and institutions shape health and wellbeing. I examine issues like: the early-life determinants of child health in low- and middle-income countries, population ageing, and job quality and working conditions and their implications for workers' well-being.

Previously I was a Lecturer at Dublin City University Business School, where I taught introductory Microeconomics and Macroeconomics to cohorts of over 500 students. I place great emphasis on teaching and am committed to fostering engaging and inclusive learning environments. Further details are available in my teaching portfolio.
I hold a PhD in Economics from University College Dublin and an MSc in Economics from the University of Warwick.
I have been co-organiser of the Young Irish-based Economists Seminar Series (YIESS), a platform that brings together early-career economists across Ireland and beyond to present their work and build a vibrant research community.
