@sarapratico
Economics graduate with expertise in research and data analysis.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated researcher with a strong academic background in Economics and Social Sciences from Bocconi University. My education has equipped me with a solid foundation in Development Economics, Political Economics, and Econometrics, culminating in a dissertation that explored the complexities of conflict through market-based evidence. My academic achievements, including a Master's degree with a score of 105/110, reflect my commitment to excellence and my passion for understanding economic dynamics.
Throughout my career, I have gained valuable experience through various internships and research roles. At Stanford University, I contributed to a significant research project in collaboration with BRAC and URA, where I honed my skills in data collection and analysis using Stata. My role as a Research Associate at Duke University allowed me to oversee field activities and manage research proposals, further developing my project management and analytical skills. I thrive in collaborative environments and am adept at managing relationships with stakeholders, ensuring that research objectives are met efficiently.
In addition to my academic and professional pursuits, I have a passion for volunteering and have engaged in various humanitarian efforts across different countries. My diverse experiences have not only enriched my understanding of global issues but have also fueled my desire to contribute positively to society through impactful research and policy development.
I speak fluently three languages, Italian Spanish and English, and in the last year i have worked as a freelance translator and proofreader.
