About me

Welcome! I'm a postdoctoral researcher at the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW Berlin).

My research interests are primarily focused on the interface between social and environmental policy, including the effects of pollution on health and human capital outcomes, and the distributional effects of environmental policy. 

Prior to my PhD, I worked for the International Labor Organization in the field of social protection and employment policies.
