About
I earned my PhD at The University of Chicago Harris School with a field specialization at the Department of Economics, taught by Jim Heckman, Bob LaLonde, and Dan Black.
I then moved to New Jersey and was a Postdoctoral Scholar and Lecturer at Princeton University, with the Department of Economics and the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs.
After my postdoc, I worked as a Research Economist at the Inter-American Development Bank in Washington, DC, with the Strategic Planning and Development Effectiveness Office.
