As a sociologist and quantitative researcher with over two decades of experience, my academic journey has been driven by a commitment to uncovering and addressing structural inequalities—particularly those related to gender, work, and violence. My work bridges the gap between rigorous academic research and real-world policy, with a focus on the gender pay gap, intimate partner violence, and labour market inequalities.
