I am a Research Economist at the Centre for Economic Performance of the London School of Economics and a Research Affiliate at the Wellbeing Research Centre at the University of Oxford. I serve as an Associate Editor of Applied Research in Quality of Life.
 

I am an applied microeconomist working in health and public economics. I evaluate public policies and large-scale interventions using experimental and quasi-experimental designs. My research asks which mental health interventions work at scale and for whom, how public services perform when they are stretched, and how governments can use measures of wellbeing to assess policies. My work aims to contribute to a happier and better-functioning society.

Here is a short video about why I decided to become an economist.
