Research Fellow

United Kingdom

I have an MA and PhD in Gender Studies from the Central European University based in Vienna and Budapest. Prior to joining the LSHTM in 2022, I worked at the Institute for Employment Research at the University of Warwick and at the Centre for International Research on Care, Labour and Equalities (CIRCLE) at the University of Leeds.

I have spent most of my post-doctoral career conducting applied research that is relevant to both academia and public policy. While working at the University of Warwick, I led and contributed to research projects investigating different aspects of work and employment in the UK, for example, digital skills, graduate careers and the impact of Covid-19 on the education and childcare workforce. I presented my research on workforce digital skills to the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Digital Skills.

Teaching

I am a seminar leader on the Principles of Social Research module, and a tutor and project supervisor for the MSc in Public Health programme.

I supervise PhD and MBA students at the University of Warwick.

I am an Associate Fellow of Advance HE (formerly known as the Higher Education Academy).

Research

I am a member of a research group led by Professor Shereen Hussein as part of the ESRC-funded Centre for Care. Our research is focused on the social care workforce in the UK, exploring, among other topics, changes in how social care is organised and delivered, the terms and conditions of care workers' employment and the impact of digital technologies on the paid work of care.

I am interested in all aspects of gender in/equality in the labour market and how gender inequalities are created and recreated at the intersection of work and care.
