Biography
I am a Financial Economist with a Business Analytics background.
In my research I explore the interplay between financial systems and societal dynamics, particularly how societal factors such as discrimination, income inequality and psychological well-being shape financial behaviours and outcomes for individuals, households and corporations.
My main research interests lie at the intersection of
- Banking
- Household finance
- Behavioural finance
I studied for my PhD in Economics at Durham University Business School where I received the Best Thesis in the Faculty of Business award. My PhD was funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC).
My MSc in Economics with Distinction is from the University of Edinburgh. From the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management, I gained a BSc in Management, Philosophy and Economics.
For several years, I worked in Statistics and Business Analytics roles in the public and private sectors in the UK where I fell in love with R and Python.
