I am a PhD candidate in Economics at the  Université Libre de Bruxelles. I work at the Département d’économie appliquée (DULBEA). I am a recipient of the FRESH PhD Grant (FNRS).

I hold a Double Master Degree in Economics from LUISS Guido Carli and Economic Sciences from ULB, and a Bachelor's degree in Economic Sciences from the Università Degli Studi Roma Tre.  In 2024, I visited the Faculty of Economics of University of Alcalà (Madrid). 

I am an applied microeconomist focusing on labor and health economics. I study how social insurance and public assistance programs interact with labor markets, particularly in shaping labor reintegration and behavioral responses to policy incentives and information.
