Field of work

In the Netherlands, I completed my BSc in Public Health and MSc in Global Health. In 2020, I returned back to my roots in Switzerland, and now work as a project manager at the Swiss Association for Tobacco Control. Since 2022, I am also doing my PhD here at the Institute of Social and Preventive Medicine. My research focuses on migrant health and smoking. I see tobacco as one of the biggest public health challenges and am particularly interested in the politics of tobacco control. My other interests include global health governance, agroecology, and chocolate.
