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 at UCL as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow. In September 2026, I will join the University of Gothenburg as Assistant Professor of Economics.    

I am currently on maternity leave until September 2025 and may be slow to respond to emails during this time. 

You can find my CV here.
