I'm a doctoral candidate at the University of Bamberg (Germany), specifically at the Professorship of Macroeconomics & International Finance (Prof. Dr. Christian Proaño). My research focuses on the fields of empirical macroeconomics and international finance. Previously, I completed an MA in International Economics at HWR Berlin (Germany), and BA in Economics at Universidad del Zulia (Venezuela). In parallel, I currently work at Springer Nature Group in the Corporate Strategy & Market Intelligence team.
In my free time, I have played electric guitar for several years.
