Thanks for visiting my website!

I am an Economist (Young Professional) at The World Bank, Macroeconomics, Trade, and Investment (MTI) Global Practice. Before joining the bank, I completed my Ph.D. in Economics at the University of Maryland, College Park. 

My research focuses on exploring the role of financial intermediation in the transmission of monetary policies to firms. I work on topics including zombie firms, bank regulation, and climate finance.

I received an M.Sc. in Economics and Finance from the Center for Monetary and Financial Studies (CEMFI) and a B.Sc. in Statistics from the University of Hong Kong.
