Welcome!

I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Economics at Tufts University, and a Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Zurich for AY 2026/27. As an applied microeconomist, I study labor markets with a focus on education and gender.

Prior to joining Tufts, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Department of Economics at MIT. I hold a PhD in Economics from the University of Zurich and a Masters in Public Policy from the University of Chicago. I am a CESifo affiliate and hold a research affiliation at Aalto University.
