Overview

I am a PhD candidate in the Economics of Education at University College London (UCL), based in the Centre for Education Policy and Equalising Opportunities (CEPEO). My doctoral research examines how education systems influence student choices and outcomes, with a particular focus on vocational pathways, qualification reforms, and post-16 transitions. As part of my PhD, I work with the Education Policy Institute (EPI) on projects evaluating English and maths resits, T Levels, and pathways to post-compulsory education. My research has been cited by the Education Select Committee and been used to inform recent large-scale policy reforms in England. My work has also featured in media outlets include the BBC, Sky News, FE Week,and more.

My broader research interests span education, labour, and environmental economics, linked by a common goal of understanding individual decision-making and its interaction with policy design and sustainability. My previous work in environmental economics explored behavioural interventions to promote volunteering for nature restoration, the role of environmental identity in promoting pro-environmental behaviour and the use of natural capital accounting in policy. My academic research has been published in leading journals including Environmental and Resource Economics, Social Science and Medicine, Review of Environmental Economics and Policy, the International Journal of Social Research Methodology and New Zealand Economic Papers.

I am passionate about producing rigorous, inter-disciplinary and policy-relevant research that supports evidence-based decision-making for a more equitable and sustainable future.
