I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Economics at the University of California Davis, where I serve as the Graduate Student Coordinator of the Global Migration Center.
I am an applied economist working at the intersection of public, labor, health, and demography. My research studies how public institutions and population aging shape health and economic well-being over the life cycle. In particular, I study how pension and social insurance systems affect retirement behavior, financial security, health, mortality, and longevity at older ages; how population aging affects local labor markets; and how aging and migration interact. I am also part of the research team for the VenRePs Kids Survey Project, a longitudinal study of the health, human capital, and integration of forcibly displaced children and adolescents in Colombia.
