I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics and Business at The City College of New York (CUNY). Before joining CCNY, I spent two years at the Centro de Investigación y Docencia Económicas (CIDE) in Mexico City. I received my Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
I am an applied economist with research interests in international trade, economic growth and macro development.
