I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Economics at the University of Gothenburg. My research focuses on topics in health and development economics. My ongoing projects focus on gender-based discrimination in healthcare and mental health, using primary data collected in Kenya as well as Swedish registry data. 

I currently hold a Wellcome Trust postdoctoral research fellowship and a grant from the Adlerbertska Foundations.
