I am a Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellow at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Barcelona, Spain), where I conduct research on my project #Leave4NextGen funded by the European Commission under the Horizon Europe programme. I am also an Assistant Professor (visiting) in the Department of Economics at the University of Alcalá (Madrid, Spain).

I completed my PhD in Economics at the Université Libre de Bruxelles (Belgium), within the Dulbea. I have been appointed as a IZA Research Affiliate in April 2024, as well as a Fellow of the Global Labor Organization.

My research interests are in labor and public economics, with a focus on gender inequalities and the impact of public policies.
