Biography

I manage the MacroCB7 project, assessing the macroeconomic and distributional impact of the UK's Seventh Carbon Budget. This project is a partnership with the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, funded by the Oxford Agile Initiative. I developed this project as part of my doctoral research exploring how agent-based macroeconomic models can be used to assess the distributional impact of climate mitigation policies.

I came to INET Oxford from the UK government's Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. I worked in a range of policy and economics roles, most recently leading Defra's Net Zero Economics team. I regularly briefed Ministers and represented the UK on working groups at the OECD, EU and WTO. Prior to working at Defra I worked at Prudential, Ecooo and Triodos Bank.

When I'm not thinking about the economy you can find me at a gig, riding my bike, kitesurfing or holding a placard at a picket line.
