Bio

I’m a political scientist working on the politics of social policy and institutional trust. I am currently a Research Fellow at the European University Institute, working in the SOLID Project (Policy Crisis and Crisis Politics Sovereignty, Solidarity and Identity in the EU Post 2008. PI’s: Hanspeter Kriesi, Waltraud Schelkle, Maurizio Ferrera).

I received my PhD from Central European University in September 2019. My dissertation looked at how clientelism and partisanship influenced access to healthcare in 17 Eastern and Southern E.U. member states. I was previously a Max Weber Fellow and part-time Assistant Professor at the EUI, teaching quantitative methods.
