Her current research projects include costing studies in maternal health, the lifetime health costs of women who experience domestic violence and gender disparities in retirement outcomes. She also teaches advanced actuarial courses including the Actuarial Control Cycle 2 and Advanced General Insurance. Her teaching excellence was recognised through the CBE Award for Teaching Excellence (Early Career) in 2018 and the Vice Chancellor's Award for Teaching Excellence (Early Career) in 2019.
