Academic Background

I completed my PhD in Economics at The University of Melbourne in 2010. Prior to this, I obtained a Bachelor of Economics (Honours) from The Australian National University. My research career has focused on applying economic analysis to inform public policy, with a particular emphasis on taxation, labour markets, social policy, and retirement incomes.

Current Position

I am a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Economics at Deakin Business School, Deakin University. I teach and conduct research in economics, with interests spanning labour economics, finance,  public economics and health economics. My work combines economic theory with large-scale administrative and survey data to address important policy challenges facing Australia.
