Hi! I am a PhD student in the Department of Economics at the London School of Economics. My main research interests are development and economics of the family. In my job market paper, I combine game theoretical tools and reduced form econometric methods to understand why mothers are more likely to experience violence by an intimate partner compared to non-mothers.

I will join the Stone Centre, University College London, as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow. In September 2026, I will join the University of Gothenburg as Assistant Professor of Economics.    

You can find my CV here.
