I am a Senior Research Officer at UKHLS. I work on infrastructure and research projects using the Understanding Society data linked to administrative sources such as HMRC, DWP, and the FCA. I completed my PhD in Economics at the University of Essex in 2026.

My research interests include labour and household economics, with a focus on labour market dynamics and poverty. My work examines the role of search frictions, social networks, and expectations in the labour market. I also study the quality of data used in labour and household economics, such as income and mobility, particularly the sources of measurement error and their implications for empirical estimates.
