I work as a research assistant in the trinational project Urban Platform Economies: Transformations of Labor and Intersectional Inequalities (TICS), which deals with care work in the platform economy and can be classified in feminist geography.

In addition to intersectional perspectives, I am interested in sustainable economic and social practices. In my Master's thesis 'Arbeitsrealitäten in einer Plattformkooperative - wie Reinigerinnen ihre Arbeit in der Plattformkooperative Autonomía wahrnehmen', I used a collaborative research design to investigate the Zurich platform cooperative Autonomía as an innovative alternative to the traditional platform economy.
