Hello and welcome! I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy at the University of Toronto. I specialize in international and comparative political economy. My current research focuses on three main areas:

• Media and the economy: How does the media describe the economy? How does media framing affect agents' perception of the economy? Under what conditions does media framing affect financial investors?
  
  
• Political economy of money and finance: What factors influence currency politics? How and why do social groups lobby for changes to currency and monetary policy? Under what conditions do they do so and through which channels?
  
  
• Leaders in political economy: Do individual characteristics of leaders matter for economic policy? How does variation in ascriptive (e.g. gender, race) and/or acquired (e.g. occupation, education) characteristics matter?

Some of my work is published at International Studies Quarterly, New Political Economy, Business & Politics, European Union Politics and The British Journal of Politics and International Relations. I received my PhD in Political Science from the University of Virginia in 2023. I hold a M.Sc. in International Political Economy from the London School of Economics and Political Science and a M.A. in International Relations from the University of Bologna. Prior to pursuing graduate studies, I received a B.A. in International Studies from the University of Bologna.

​I am on the 2024-2025 academic job market!
