Having graduated from the University of Warwick with a B.A. in Philosophy, Politics and Economics, I am now specialising in European Affairs and Global Health with a Master at SciencesPo in Paris. During a placement year in a Brussels-based public affairs consultancy in the area of European healthcare policy, I developed a profound interest in public health policy and health economics.To build expertise in how we can balance competitiveness and innovation with patient access and equity, I am working in a health economics research lab on the European Hi-Prix project parallel to my studies. We analyse the equity impacts of new, highly expensive medical innovations and the pricing and payment methods used to pay for these. As part of this experience, I am currently writing my Master Thesis conducting a German-French quantitative comparative analysis on a public policy for hospital funding for innovative medical devices.
