Macroeconomics | Fiscal Policy| Monetary Policy
I am a Ph.D. student in Economics at Texas A&M University, specializing in macroeconomics, fiscal policy, and monetary policy. My research investigates how private-sector beliefs and firm heterogeneity shape the transmission of macroeconomic policies.
In my teaching, I combine rigorous economic analysis with real-world problems to help students develop the kind of disciplined reasoning they can apply well beyond the classroom. I am also a CIRTL Associate Fellow of the Academy for Future Faculty at Texas A&M.
Beyond academia, I contribute to policy-oriented research with direct implications for policymaking, and I am a member of the Economics Research Network of the Colombian Central Bank.
