About

I am a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) at the Economics Department at the University of Leeds.

My applied work focuses on income inequality, gender, and childcare. 

I'm interested in time use data and unpaid care provision, paid care employment (in sectors such as health and education) as a driver of inequality, and how development and urbanization mediate gender inequality in labour markets.

I received my PhD in Economics in 2022 from the University of Massachusetts Amherst under the supervision of Nancy Folbre.
