I am a last-year PhD candidate in Economics working under the supervision of Sara Ayllón (University of Girona & IZA). I am part of the Women in Social and Public Policy Research Hub at LSE.

During the next academic year, I will be visiting University of La Laguna’s Department of Economics as a Visiting PhD Student, where I will have the opportunity to work with Gustavo Marrero.

I am passionately engaged in family economics, economics of human development, education economics, economics of poverty and inequality, and causal-inference methods. My thesis delves into the impacts of universal childcare policies on children and mothers, combining meta-analysis with causal designs.
