I recently completed my PhD in Economics at the Università della Svizzera italiana. As a first-generation college graduate, I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Economics from the University of Naples Parthenope. I hold a Master's degree in Economics and Economic Policy from the University of Bologna and completed the Swiss Program for Beginning Doctoral Students in Economics, hosted by the Swiss National Bank. In 2023, I visited the Department of Economics at the University of California, Berkeley. 

I am an applied microeconomist focusing on labor economics. I analyze how local labor market shocks, such as automation and tourism, influence labor market dynamics and education. 

My work has been published in peer-reviewed journals and featured in The Economist, LSE Business Review, and LaVoce.info.
