About me:

List of publications / CV

I am a Lecturer in Economics at Leeds University Business School and Investigador Principal at Grupo de Análisis para el Desarrollo (Lima, Peru). I am also Research Associate at the Oxford Department of International Development (University of Oxford) and Invited Researcher at J-PAL. I was Senior Researcher with the Young Lives Study from 2023 to 2026, and PI of the study in Peru from 2012 to 2023. 

I hold a DPhil in Economics and an MSs in Economics for Development from the University of Oxford. 

My research is focused on (i) studying the causes and consequences of investments in human capital over the life course in low- and middle-income countries, and (ii) the impact of public policies on human development, in particular their remedial role for children who grew up in poverty or were affected by shocks. I am actively working with the Min of Education in Peru on measuring the impact of a growth-mindset intervention among primary school students.
