I am an applied economist, currently working at the Scottish Government in the Directorate for Population Health as part of the Health and Social Care Department. In my role I use economic theory and econometric analysis to inform policy-making and to support wider analysis in the Scottish Government. Previously, I have worked at the Fraser of Allander Institute, which is the leading research institute in Scotland, analysing the impact of Brexit on migration in the UK. I have achieved top class marks in both my undergraduate and postgraduate studies, being awarded a university medal for the recognition of my academic achievements. Furthermore, I have been awarded an academic scholarship for one of the top postgraduate courses in economics offered in the UK at the University of Strathclyde. I am passionate about sustainability, in particular through addressing social and economic inequalities. I have demonstrable experience in working in international teams, having studied and worked in Scotland, the United States, and Poland. I have comprehensive knowledge of Excel, R, Stata, GAMS, and SPSS software packages, which I have gained while conducting econometric research. My undergraduate dissertation required sophisticated data manipulation and analysis, using econometric models to analyse the impact of the type of ownership on the efficiency of passenger transportation. In my postgraduate research in the area of economics of international conflict I have conducted panel data analysis on conflict instances using drones in the Middle East and Africa.
