Welcome!

I am a PhD candidate in Economics at London Business School, advised by Hélène Rey and expected to graduate in Spring 2026. My research interests include geoeconomics, international macro, trade and monetary policy.

I am a member of the Next-Geo cohort, a 2026 Lamfalussy Fellow, and a finalist for the 2026 Young Economist Prize.

Before the PhD, I worked at the European Central Bank. I did my pre-doc at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. I hold a MSc in Economics from University College London and a BSc in Philosophy, Politics and Economics from the University of Warwick.
