Welcome!

I am a PhD student in Economics at the University of Pennsylvania. My research interests include macroeconomics, labor economics, and applied econometrics.

I previously worked in the IMF’s Research Department on topics ranging from fiscal and monetary policies to climate change and inequality. I hold a Master’s degree in Economics from the University College London (UCL) and a Bachelor’s degree in Economics from the Nova School of Business and Economics.
