I am an applied micro-economist specialising in gender, labour markets, and development, with over a decade of combined academic and policy experience. I use applied microeconometric methods and an interdisciplinary lens to analyse gendered inequalities across labour markets, health, and social protection systems. I link survey, administrative, and geospatial data to quantify disparities, uncover underlying mechanisms, and generate policy-relevant evidence. I am the quantitative lead for the Gender Equality @ Work Index at the University of Sydney, and my current research focuses on gender norms, climate–gender interactions, and social protection targeting. My work has been published in leading international journals, including World Development, Social Science & Medicine, Journal of Development Studies, and Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science. 

I have previously worked as a post-doctoral research fellow at the University of Sydney's Department of Political Economy, the Australian National University's Crawford School of Public Policy and the World Bank Gender Group and as a consultant in the World Bank Social Protection and Jobs Global Practice.
