Biography

Shortly after the completion of my Ph.D. in Economics at the University of Aberdeen in 2011, I joined the Employment Research Institute (ERI) at the Edinburgh Napier University as Research Assistant and subsequently worked as a Research Associate in the EU & Welsh Government project “Women Adding Value to the Economy” (WAVE) at the Cardiff University. From 2016 to 2021, I was employed as Lecturer in Economics at the University of Glasgow, teaching and coordinating courses at both undergraduate, postgraduate and MBA level. I also led the development of new courses and programmes, and acting as Undergraduate Convenor for year 1, 2 and 3 in Economics and as Undergraduate Assessment officer in Economics. In 2022, I joined the University of Aberdeen Business School as Lecturer in Economics teaching Macroeconomic Courses such as Labour Market Economics and Global Economy. Furthermore, I am the Senior Personal Tutor of the Business School, UG Economics studies convenor for Joint Honours, Go Abroad Tutor in Economics, Student Experience lead in Economics and the Education lead for the Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) committee at the Business School. 

My research interest is based in Labour Economics, International labour migration and Gender Pay Gaps.
