She graduated from the University of Strathclyde with a BA in Economics in 1989 and joined HERU after working at the Scottish Office as an Economic Assistant. She has since gained an MSc in Economics from Glasgow University and a PhD in Economics from the University of Aberdeen. Her research interests are primarily on the impact of incentives on the provision of healthcare, healthcare users and health behaviours.
