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 microeconomist working in public and labor economics. My research examines how social insurance design, population aging, and migration shape health, financial security, human capital, and economic opportunity over the life cycle.
As part of this research agenda, I am a member of the research team of the VenRePs Kids Survey Project, a longitudinal study of the health, human capital, and integration of forcibly displaced children and adolescents in Colombia
I am on the 2026–2027 job market. You can find my CV here.
