I am a Ph.D. candidate in Economics at Boston University and an LL.M. graduate from Harvard Law School.

My research examines how legal and institutional reforms influence women’s economic and political agency. 

I combine applied econometrics to study how informal institutions, enforcement capacity, and political incentives shape the effectiveness of policies such as gender quotas, and property rights reforms.

Fields: Development Economics, Political Economy, Applied Econometrics
