I am a PhD candidate in Public Governance, Management and Policy at the Economics Department of the University of Bologna. 

My research explores the economics of education and gender economics, focusing on cultural and socio-economic inequalities in educational attainment and future aspirations. 

I apply both quantitative and qualitative methods to provide rigorous and policy-relevant insights.
