I am an economist with a lifelong interest in education economics. My current work focuses on the impact of breastfeeding on cognitive and non-cognitive outcomes. It will shed light on its implications later in life.

My doctoral research at UCL focused on the impact of English academies and how attending an academy affects pupils’ cognitive and non-cognitive skills as well as their subject choices at age 14. Changes in school management and pupil intakes are also discussed. My pre-doctoral research focused on public choice in education and on teaching methods.
