About

I am a third-year PhD candidate in Economics at the Institute for International Economic Studies (IIES), Stockholm University. My research is situated at the intersection of development, labour, and political economy with a particular focus on climate change adaptation and resilience, health, human capital, and gender-based violence. I currently work on research projects in Spain, Chile, Sweden, and Norway.

I am supervised by Jakob Svensson (main supervisor), Tessa Bold (co-supervisor; development), and Jósef Sigurdsson (co-supervisor; labour).

Previously: Barcelona School of Economics (MS in Economics) and Paris School of Economics (Master Analyse et Politiques Économiques).
