I am a Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of Economics at the University of California, Davis, where I am affiliated with the UC Davis Global Migration Center.

Prior to moving to California, I worked as a researcher at fRDB. I hold a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Economics and Social Sciences from Bocconi University. 

I am an applied economist specializing in labor and personnel economics, with a focus on migration. My current work explores the role of employers and personal networks for refugees' labor market integration, and examines how skills shape the impact of immigration on native workers.

I will be on the 2025/2026 academic job market.
