About

I am a political scientist and policy advisor working at the intersection of research and policymaking in international contexts. My work focuses on education policy as a key lever to reduce social inequality and strengthen democratic participation. With training in political science and sociology, I combine empirical research with practical policy advice, translating evidence into actionable insights for policymakers, civil society, and international stakeholders. I am particularly interested in evidence-based policymaking, democratic governance, and global policy challenges.
