Biography
I joined ScHARR as a researcher in 2009. My current work includes economic evaluation and outcomes research including health-related quality of life (HRQoL) measures and well-being. Prior to joining ScHARR, I undertook an undergraduate MA in Economics at the University of Aberdeen. This was followed by a 4 year MRC HSRC Studentship to undertake a Masters in Economics and Health Economics followed by a PhD at the University of Sheffield. I explored the relationship between preference-based measures of HRQoL such as the EQ-5D and subjective well-being measures.
Research interests
My research interests are:
- Exploring the relationship between health and well-being
- Exploring patient experiences of different health conditions
- Intersectoral measures of benefit for economic evaluations
Teaching interests

I am interested in being part of a supervisory panel supervising research students in topics related to development of preference-based measures, well-being and application of economic evaluation methods in developing countries.
