I'm a postdoctoral researcher in the Crime, Labor and Inequality Department at DIW Berlin. I'm also a research associate at the Berlin School of Economics (BSoE) and the Center for Economic Policy Analysis (CEPA Potsdam) and a guest researcher at the Federal Institute for Population Research (BiB). I am a Board Member of the Women in Economics Initiative since October 2023.

I obtained my Ph.D. in Economics from the Berlin School of Economics (BSoE) and the DIW Graduate Center, where I have worked in the Gender Economics Research Group of the Public Economics Department at DIW Berlin.

I was a visiting research fellow at Harvard University, Harvard Kenneth C. Griffin Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (September 2024 – January 2025).

Prior to moving to Berlin, I completed my MSc at the Paris School of Economics, my BSc at the University of Mannheim and was an intern at the European Commission in Brussels.

My main research interests are Economics of Crime, Labour, Gender and Family Economics.

Feel free to get in touch with me to discuss my research and/or future collaboration.
