About me

I will join the Department of Economics at Aalto University as a Postdoctoral Researcher in August 2024. I am an Assistant Researcher at VATT Institute for Economic Research.

My research interests include analyzing the effectiveness of social policies, particularly early childhood programs and interventions, and understanding how those affect families' behaviors and wellbeing.

I completed my PhD in Education Policy and Social Context at the University of California, Irvine in 2024.
