Before joining the Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung, she worked as a trainee in the office of Member of the European Parliament Rasmus Andresen. Previously, Laura had also completed an internship in the United Nations Conference for Trade and Development, researching the potential use of central bank digital currencies for cross-border trade, and in a humanitarian organisation working on institutional partnerships. During her studies, she worked at the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) on an international project for health innovations.

Laura holds a B.Sc. in Business Administration and Economics from the University of Rome Tor Vergata and a M.Sc. in Economics from the University of Regensburg. Over the course of her studies and early career, she developed a growing interest in the political dimensions of economics, which led her to pursue a second master’s degree in Interdisciplinary European Studies, and specialise in the intersection of EU affairs and economic policy.
