I am originally from Ecuador and worked at the Department of Economics of the Escuela Superior Politécnica del Litoral (ESPOL) in Guayaquil where I taught macroeconomics and econometrics at the undergraduate level for 6 years. I currently teach econometrics at the graduate school of the School of Social Sciences and Humanities at ESPOL.
I obtained my Bachelor's degree from ESPOL in 1999, my Master's degree from the Department of Economics of Universidad de Chile in 2005, and my Doctoral degree from Indiana University in 2012.
