About

I’m a fifth-year PhD student in Economics at the University of Zurich, supervised by Ana Costa-Ramón and Roberto A. Weber. I work at the intersection of behavioral and labor economics, with a focus on education and gender inequalities.

In Fall 2025 I visited Harvard University, hosted by Katherine Coffman.
