Hi, thanks for stopping by! My research lies at the intersection of macroeconomics, household finance, and public policy, with a particular focus on how micro-level heterogeneity shapes aggregate outcomes and welfare.

I completed my PhD in Economics at the University of Kent, and held research and teaching positions at the University of Oxford, University of Liverpool and London Business School, with a forthcoming academic appointment at CUNEF. As part of my PhD, I was a visiting researcher at UC Louvain, and I also taught macroeconomics at the LSE PhD Summer Schools.

My research examines optimal bankruptcy design, the general equilibrium implications of bank heterogeneity, and the distributional and welfare consequences of higher-education financing. Recent work has been published in the Journal of Comparative Economics and Economics Letters, and I am currently extending this agenda to the study of climate-related macroeconomic risk.
