Biography

I spent 4 years at the University of Aberdeen, studying for an undergraduate MA in Economics and graduated in 2004. I was awarded a 4 year MRC HSRC Studentship to undertake a Masters in Economics and Health Economics followed by a PhD at the University of Sheffield in 2004. I explored the relationship between preference-based measures of health such as the EQ-5D and subjective well-being measures. I joined ScHARR as a researcher in 2009.
