I am a postdoc at the Department of Economics at Lund University, Sweden. Before coming to Lund, I completed my Ph.D. at Stockholm School of Economics.

My research focuses on applied topics in Household Finance, Economics of Education, and Labor Economics. My current work investigates the impact of income shocks on household debt, default, and consumption, as well as the intergenerational transmission of financial distress. Additionally, I explore how education influences financial decisions and how school admission policies affect student educational and labor market outcomes.
