I am a third-year Ph.D. student in Public Policy at Duke University, concentrating in Economics, and an affiliated graduate student at the Duke University Population Research Institute (DUPRI).
My research lies at the intersection of development and population economics. I also engage in related projects on the politics of climate change in Latin America.
Outside of academia, I enjoy exploring new recipes, spending time outdoors, and staying active through sports.

Spring 2026: RFBerlin Migration Forum, CESifo Junior Workshop on the Economics of Education (Munich), PAA Annual Meeting (St. Louis), and Duke Population Research Institute
