Originally from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, I have been at Stirling since 2007. I hold a BA (Hons) in Economics from the University of Stirling, a MSc Economics from the University of Edinburgh, and I obtained my PhD from the University of Stirling in 2018. My postgraduate studies were supported by an Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) 1+3 studentship, awarded through open competition.

I have held my current post of lecturer since August 2017, in addition to being a module coordinator (2015-17), and a teaching assistant (2013-17) until my full time appointment. My teaching responsibilities include advanced macroeconomics at the undergraduate level, and delivering the core micro and macro modules on the MSc Economics for Business & Policy.

I hope to be awarded Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy in 2018, in addition to representing the Division of Economics on the Stirling Management School's Learning & Teaching Committee.
