I am an applied microeconomist with research interests in the fields of Labor Economics, Family Economics and Health Economics. My current research focuses on how public policies and external shocks affect labor market outcomes and mental health, and the spillover effects of this on the next generation.

I am a post-doctoral researcher (6 years) at the European University Viadrina, Chair for Public Economics. I am also a guest researcher at the Public Economics Department, DIW Berlin, and a research associate at the Berlin School of Economics.

Previously, I was a PhD candidate at Erasmus University Rotterdam and Tinbergen Institute under the supervision of Anne Gielen  and Robert Dur. I hold a Research Master degree in Economics from Tinbergen Institute.

My CV is available here.
