I am a Ph.D. Candidate in Economics at the University of South Florida. 

I'm on the 2026-2027 job market.

Before joining USF, I earned a B.A. in Economics and Management and an M.S. in Corporate Finance from LUISS University in Rome, Italy. In Fall 2018, I spent a semester in Norway as an exchange student at the Norwegian School of Economics (NHH).

My research interests lie at the intersection of environmental and development economics, with a focus on how climate change and environmental degradation affect welfare and economic opportunities. In my doctoral dissertation, I explore the implications of gradual environmental change for household decisions and well-being, particularly in rural communities that rely heavily on agriculture.

More broadly, I aim to apply causal inference methods to understand how environmental change shapes economic development and to identify policies that can strengthen household resilience.

Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, particularly in the Dolomites, and photography, experimenting with different angles and perspectives. During my exchange semester, I was a member of the NHH’s Photo Club, which deepened my interest in photography. I also enjoy reading and exploring GIS software to create maps and work with different kinds of data.
