Alison Leary's multifaceted career as a researcher and consultant highlights her commitment to advancing workforce modeling, particularly in healthcare. Her current focus is on using data science to better understand and articulate the complexities of service-oriented roles that often lack visibility, such as nursing. Leveraging her diverse background—from engineering to nursing—she offers insights to governments and agencies globally on workforce issues. Furthermore, she advocates for applying lessons from healthcare to address gender disparities in academia, especially the challenges faced by women in professional settings.
Leary's work aims to make 'pink collar' roles like nursing more visible, emphasizing healthcare's complexity over treating it as a regular service industry.
To address gender disparities in academia, she advocates leveraging insights from health care to combat the 'leaky pipeline' affecting women's roles.
