About Me

I am a PhD student at the Swiss Graduate School of Public Administration (IDHEAP) at the University of Lausanne. My dissertation examines the integration of immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekers in Switzerland, with a focus on how policies and institutional practices shape integration trajectories and long-term outcomes.

Previously, I was a Pre-Doctoral Fellow at the Immigration Policy Lab at ETH Zürich (2021-2023), where I employed randomized controlled trials and causal inference methods to analyze immigrant and refugee integration across multiple dimensions, including economic, social, and psychological outcomes.

I hold an MA in Economics from Central European University (2020) and a BA in Economics from Kansas State University (2018), graduating Magna Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa.
