I am a Ph.D. candidate in Economics at the LEDa laboratory at the University Paris Dauphine - PSL and at the Department of Economics of the University of Copenhagen (joint-agreement). I am writing my thesis under the supervision of Gabrielle Fack and Niels Johannesen.

My area of research covers applied microeconomics, with a particular interest in gender, public and political economy. My Ph.D. dissertation aims to study corporate philanthropy, to understand companies behavior with regards to taxation and potential gain in political influence. 

I am visiting UC Berkeley in Fall 2025, hosted by Matilde Bombardini.
