About

I'm a health economist by training with expertise in economic modelling and health technology assessment across multiple European healthcare systems. I build cost-effectiveness models, budget impact analyses, and decision-support tools that translate complex clinical and economic evidence into actionable insights for payers and decision-makers. My recent work includes developing economic evaluation frameworks for Alzheimer's disease-modifying therapies in Ireland and building interactive R Shiny tools for scenario analysis. I've worked across five countries (Turkey, Ireland, Latvia, the Netherlands, Belgium) and bring particular strength in bridging the gap between technical modelling and real-world HTA requirements, understanding not just how to build a model, but what they need to see.
