As an applied microeconometrician by training, my research interests lie in gender issues, underrepresented peoples, and visible minorities studies. Strands of my research include exploring the long-term effects of a war on intimate partner violence and quantifying the impact of pollution on the costs of public healthcare in Leicester. In addition, I am currently studying the effects of a temporary income shock on the credit behaviour of older adults in Canada. 

I joined the Department of Economics at the Universidad Alberto Hurtado as an Assistant Professor in August 2024. Before my current role, I was a  Mitacs Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Alberta and the Bank of Canada. Prior to that, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Chair of Economic Policy at the University of Potsdam and a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Department of Economics at the University of Hamburg and the Hamburg Center for Health Economics (HCHE).
