I lead the Economic Research Department at the Reserve Bank of Australia, after serving as Deputy Head of Financial Stability.

Before that, I was Chief Research Officer at the Milken Institute, directing research across macroprudential policy, ESG, capital flows, and public health — and co-chairing the T20 Task Force on the International Financial Architecture, advising the G20.

Earlier still: research and leadership roles at the Banque de France, and a first career as a professor of economics at the University of Cincinnati, specializing in time-series econometrics and international finance.

The through-line: empirical analysis only earns its keep once it becomes clear, decision-ready insight.

My research has appeared in the Journal of Money, Credit and Banking, Economic Policy, and the Journal of Banking and Finance, among others; RePEc ranks me in the top 10% of female economists worldwide.

Off the clock, it’s waves, trails, Muay Thai, and the hunt for great theatre and great food.
