      About me

      I joined Warwick in January 2019 as a teaching focussed Associate Professor. Within the Economics Department, I was Director of Postgraduate Studies (Taught Degrees), chair of the Postgraduate Management Committee and Director of Widening Participation and served on other major T&L committees (2020-2023). I am an Associate of the Economics Network, and a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (SFHEA). In June 2021 I became a Fellow of the Warwick International Higher Education Academy (WIHEA), where I chaired the Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) Learning Circle in 2021/2022.

      I am an applied behavioural and experimental economist, with published research looking at nudge theory, and understanding how monetary/non-monetary incentives impact individuals’ behaviour and promote the formation of pro-environmental habits. I also maintain research interests in the field of applied economics education and have an interest on understanding the drivers of students’ attainment gaps and engagement (with classes and technology), with special focus on students coming from social mobility backgrounds. In 2022, I became Research Affiliate of the Behaviour, Brain, and Society (Climate Change and Behavioural Change)Link opens in a new window research group, and IGSD Thematic Fellow and member of the Sustainability Spotlight in 2024.

      Alongside this, I am Deputy Director of the Behavioural Environmental Economics Team (BEET, August 2020 - present).
