NEWS: As of June 2023, I'll be joining the CSS Institute for Empirical Health Economics as a Researcher.
My main areas of research include health, labor, and family economics with a special focus on early childhood development and maternal wellbeing.
In summer 2019, I graduated from the Econ Department at the University of Zurich. The focus of my PhD thesis was on health economics, child development, and family policies.
In the meantime, I was employed as Strategic Support Manager for topics concerning Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG) at Swiss Life Asset Managers and worked
as a Postdoc at the Swiss Institute for Empirical Economic Research (previously Center for Disability and Integration) at the University of St. Gallen.
