Bio

Welcome! I am a Research Fellow in the Department of Economics at University College London. I completed my PhD at the University of Maryland, College Park, in 2025, where my dissertation won the department’s Dissertation Excellence Award.

I am interested in how shocks and transitions over the life course, from floods and heat to health transitions in midlife, change the economic lives of women and children.

Most of my research falls into two strands. The first studies how environmental shocks affect well-being, and who bears their cost. My work here includes how floods change the division of resources within households in Bangladesh, and how heat during pregnancy affects children’s health. The second studies women’s health over the life course and its economic consequences. My current work estimates what perimenopause and menopause cost women in the labour market and the UK economy.

Earlier in my career, I earned a master’s in International and Development Economics from Yale University and spent three years at the World Bank in Washington DC, contributing to research on energy access, female labour force participation, and girls’ education.
