I am an applied micro-economist whose research covers public and labour economics. I am currently working on issues in both pro-social behaviour and gender. I am founder and co-chair of Discover Economics, a campaign to increase diversity among economics students. I have been chair of the Royal Economic Society’s (RES) Women’s Committee (2017-20), an elected member of the RES council (2012-2017) and the European Economics Association council (2014-2018), and Deputy Chair of the REF2021 Economics and Econometrics sub-panel.
I was awarded an OBE in the 2022 Queen's Birthday Honours for services to economics and education.
