I am an Associate Professor at the Department of Business and Economics at University of Southern Denmark (SDU). I received my BSc in Economics & Management from the London School of Economics & Political Science, and completed my MSc in Economics and PhD in Economics from the University of Essex. Before joining SDU, I was a Max Weber Fellow at the European University Institute.

I am an applied microeconomist whose research lies at the intersection of health, labor, and development economics, with a particular focus on gender and inequality. My work combines administrative and survey data with causal inference methods to study how institutions and behaviors shape health and well-being across different socioeconomic contexts. Within health economics, I examine how biomarkers and survival expectations influence economic decisions such as savings and retirement. My recent projects investigate gender differences in healthcare utilization and health behaviors, as well as the effects of employment conditions and policy reforms on mental health. In my development economics research, I explore how the creative use of applied econometric methods can help policymakers address critical issues—such as child mortality and domestic violence—even in data-limited environments.
