I am a health and development economist studying how environmental shocks reshape health, gender inequality, and healthcare systems in low- and middle-income countries. My work uses quasi-experimental methods combined with high-resolution satellite weather data, administrative records, and large-scale surveys to identify causal effects that are policy-relevant.

My current work examines two interconnected questions. First, I investigate how rising temperatures drive domestic violence in Peru, exploiting temporal variation in extreme heat events to identify causal effects and uncover behavioural mechanisms. Second, I study how prenatal exposure to the 2017 Coastal El Niño altered birth outcomes and disrupted maternal healthcare provision. A parallel strand of my research develops welfare-based distributional indices to analyse how the burden of non-communicable diseases varies across socioeconomic groups and geographies.

Before my PhD, I conducted research at the Health Economics Research Centre (University of Oxford) and the EQUIPOL group (University of York), and worked as a consultant at the Pan-American Health Organization (WHO) and the National Institute of Health of Peru.
