Ciao!


I am a PhD candidate in Economics at Università della Svizzera italiana under the supervision of Prof. Patricia Funk. From August 2025 until January 2026 I visited UCLA Anderson School of Management hosted by Prof. Ricardo Perez-Truglia.
Before starting my PhD I was a pre-doc at AXA Research Lab on Gender Equality under the supervision of Prof. Paola Profeta. I hold a M.Sc. in European and International Public Policy from the London School of Economics and Political Science and a M.Sc. in Politics and Policy Analysis from Bocconi University.

I work on questions in gender economics with a particular focus on political economy and labor economics.
