Biography

I am an economist with research interests in social inequalities and policy evaluation. My work lies in applied microeconomics, with a particular focus on labour, health, education, and family economics. A key aim of my research is to inform policy interventions that enhance the well-being of vulnerable groups and promote social mobility.  

I received my PhD in Economics from the University of York in 2021 and my Master’s Degree in Economics from Victoria University of Wellington in 2015. I am also a Research Affiliate at the EfD-Vietnam and the CeFH. Before joining the INVEST Centre in August 2024, I worked as a 3-year Postdoctoral Fellow at the CeFH, a Norwegian Centre of Excellence at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health, and before that a Lecturer in Economics at the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City. I was awarded the British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship in 2024.
