I am currently a Postdoc at the Swiss Institute for Empirical Economic Research (previously Center for Disability and Integration) at the University of St. Gallen.
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.
