I am a Ph.D. student in Economics at Texas A&M University, specializing in macroeconomics, fiscal policy, and monetary policy. My research examines how economic policies and financial dynamics affect economic growth, expectations, firm behavior, and financial markets.
Beyond my academic work, I have experience in policy-related research, producing insights with practical implications for policymaking. I am also a member of the Economics Research Network of the Colombia Central Bank.
In my teaching, I integrate rigorous macroeconomic thinking with real-world issues, helping students internalize macroeconomic theory and develop the skills to assess economic policies and their broader implications.
