I am a third-year Ph.D. student at Rome Economics Doctorate (RED).

RED is a PhD program hosted by Einaudi Institute for Economics and Finance (EIEF) in collaboration with the universities LUISS, Tor Vergata and Sapienza.

Before starting my Ph.D., I obtained a Master's degree in Economics of Public Policy from Barcelona School of Economics (BSE), and a Bachelor's in Economics from Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio).
