Tortuga is a think tank of students, researchers, and young professionals in the fields of economics and social sciences. We conduct research and analyses on economic and political topics, bring forward policy proposals and collaborate with institutions, politicians, stakeholders, and firms providing professional support in the field of policy-making

I contributed to multiple research projects studying health inequalities between different income groups, under the direction of Prof. Johannes Spinnewijn

I wrote articles about economics and politics both in the paper edition and on the website.

Unprecedented times yield unprecedented results: or at least, this has been the case for Tra i Leoni in times of Covid-19. During my tenure as editorial director, I have promoted a radical restructuring process, leading to a dramatic +300% increase in the number of viewers in the February-November period.Thanks to constant support from a wonderful editorial board team, I have been able to progressively promote an organizational culture change, shifting towards dynamism and even more attention to the interests of our readers.In addition to setting the strategy, I am also involved in the day-to-day management, ensuring that schedules are followed and that we only publish high-quality material.

I completely renovated the website, restructuring its backend and adopting a new graphic design to provide the best user experience.The use of metrics provided by Google Analytics and Search Console enabled for more in-depth analysis and maintenance, resulting in a much smoother website experience for our readers.

As a research assistant to professor Alexia Delfino, I contributed to the design, implementation and analysis of a randomized survey to estimate the demand for features of training courses for the unemployed. I also contributed to empirical analyses on gender segregation and to the creation of a replication package.

I was a member of the "desk", the structure that collects ideas for articles and makes sure that all relevant issues are covered. We made sure that all worked smoothly and that readers had the best experience on the website. I also wrote articles, mainly for the fact-checking column.Besides this, I am all into numbers: I contribute to our well-known charts column, where we make data understandable at a glimpse, and occasionally write for the "la parola ai numeri" ("let the numbers speak") column.

I dealt with the most practical parts of managing a website, but also wrote some articles for the "la parola ai numeri" ("let the numbers speak") column.I had the chance to meet renown professors in Economics and was then asked to continue the collaboration relationship as a research assistant.
