- Former lecturer at De Montfort University (2022–2024)

Helen's research examines how human rights frameworks can challenge marriage-centric legal systems, particularly in inheritance tax, maternity benefits, and cohabitation reform. Her work bridges domestic and European legal perspectives.
Helen's recent publications analyze ECHR compatibility with inheritance tax exemptions (2025), children's rights in cohabitation reform (2024), and discrimination in marriage-based benefits systems (2022). These works emphasize tax policy, legal equality, and welfare reform.
