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 specializing in public and labor economics. My research examines how institutions and demographic change shape individual and aggregate outcomes. Specifically, I study how the structure of pension systems influence retirement behavior and elderly well-being, the economic consequences of aging in local labor markets, and the interplay between aging populations and migration. I am also part of the research team for the VenRePs Kids Survey Project, a longitudinal study on the well-being and integration of forcibly displaced children and adolescents in Colombia.
