Background
I have been at the University of Reading since 2005, first as a PhD student, then as a lecturer and I was promoted to Professor in 2022. I am an applied labour economist and microeconomist. I am currently working on a series of projects relating to women's health, fertility and the workplace and I am principal investigator for the Nuffield Foundation funded project "Maternal well-being, infant feeding and return to paid work decisions”. I am also working on projects related to: the graduate labour market, with a particular interest in creative graduates; and testing economic ideas using cricket data. My PhD research focused on Human Capital acquisition in higher education. Before my PhD I spent two years as a research assistant at the Centre for Market and Public Organisation (CMPO) at the University of Bristol, working on executive pay and firm performance.
