I hold a Master's degree in Biostatistics (110/110 cum laude, 2026) from the University of Milano-Bicocca, Italy, where I also completed my Bachelor's degree in Statistics and Information Management (105/110, 2024). In 2026, I spent three months as a visiting student at Brunel University London.

During my Master's, I worked as an academic tutor for first-year Biostatistics students, and as a teaching tutor for the courses "Multivariate Statistical Analysis – Statistical Models Module" and "Data Analysis" in the Bachelor's Degree Program in Statistics and Information Management. I joined the University of Oslo in September 2026 as a PhD student in Health Economics.
