I'm a Postdoctoral Scholar at the Development Innovation Lab, University of Chicago. I will join Bentley University as an Assistant Professor of Economics in 2024. I hold a Ph.D. in Public Policy Studies from the University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy. 

 

My research interests are development economics and education. Currently, I’m studying how shocks to migration flows in and out of educational systems in Latin America affect children’s schooling outcomes and parents’ decision-making.

 

Prior to graduate school, I worked at the Inter-American Development Bank.
