Ricercatrice in Statistica Sociale all’Università degli Studi di Firenze dal 2019. Dopo aver completato il dottorato di ricerca in Statistica Applicata nel 2016, dal 2016 al 2019 è stata assegnista di ricerca presso all’Università degli Studi di Firenze e visiting fellow al Centre for Population Change, University of Southampton (UK).
