I have collaborated with esteemed institutions and researchers, focusing on the implications of gender diversity in academia and the quantification of trust in business cycles.

Throughout my career, I have held various roles, including Research Assistant at the International Economics Association and Data Scientist at evPe, where I specialized in financial modeling.
