She studied Economics and Psychology and has worked as a research assistant for academic economists in Dublin and Paris, helping to develop historic data on house prices and analysing links between agricultural conditions and conflict in warzones. This involved developing new metrics combining spatial data with climate and survey data, regression analysis and developing tests for the validity of results.
