About
My core focus is the application of socioeconomic theories and knowledge; the nexus between economic and sociological fundamentals and the real world. My career background has provided me with strong abilities to understand, analyse and synthesise data, economic issues and trends, and the impact of social policies. In my postodc, my research helps nonprofits understand their impact and informs their program design and practice to support disadvantaged people. I am interested in the integration of immigrants and refugees, volunteer turnover, disaster recovery, labour market inclusion, and wellbeing.
