I am a Ph.D. candidate in Public Policy at Duke University, concentrating in Economics.
I'm an applied microeconomist working at the intersection of development and population economics. My research examines how two major forces shaping societies today - migration and mental health - affect economic and social outcomes in developing contexts.
Outside of academia, I enjoy exploring new recipes, spending time outdoors, and staying active through sports.
Upcoming presentations
Spring 2026: PAA Annual Meeting, Triangle Economics of Education Workshop, Humans of LACEA
Summer 2026: I'll be visiting the University of Valencia in June-July, XVIII Jornadas de Economía Laboral, 2nd Junior Workshop on Economics of Latin America
