I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Utrecht University School of Economics and a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Antwerp. My research primarily focuses on a broad set of topics in labor and family economics, with a particular emphasis on understanding the role of empowering women in intra-household decisions and child development. I am also involved in the multidisciplinary project EVENING, which entails a large-scale impact evaluation of the nationwide expansion of the Dutch preschool education program designed to benefit disadvantaged children.
