I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Zurich. I obtained my PhD in May 2023 from Lund University in Sweden.
My research interests lie at the intersection of health, gender, and child development. My work focuses on how information, social norms, and decision-making within households influence health, cognitive, and socioeconomic outcomes for both children and their parents. I use field experiments and secondary data analysis to generate evidence that can inform public health and social policy.
Prior to pursuing graduate studies in economics, I completed a Masters in Demography and Health from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. I then spent several years working in cancer epidemiology at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and King's College London. These experiences have shaped my interdisciplinary and applied approach to research.
I have a BA in Economics from the University of Utah, where I raced on the cross-country ski team.
