PhD student at GCU: Interested in an increasing elderly population in Scotland and its effect on public service provision and impact on poverty.I graduated from Glasgow Caledonian University in 2010 with a BA Social Sciences degree with my undergraduate dissertation specifically focused on the Scottish economy and the prospect of full fiscal autonomy. Moving forward into masters level allowed me to carry out my own independent research, developing and building on the themes that I had specialised in at undergraduate level. My master’s dissertation looked at the public policy tools available to the Scottish Government and the extent to which they had successfully been used to tackle recession in Scotland. This dissertation enabled me to underline the practical skills that I have gained throughout my academic career. As it was largely research based, I was able to showcase my writing skills and my ability to research and interpret data and information which has given me a strong advantage, demonstrating that I have a wide range of the skills that you require. I am currently working on my PhD researching pensioner poverty, part-time at Glasgow Caledonian University, which I intend to finish in 2019.
