Welcome!

I am a PhD student in Economics at the University of Maryland. My research focuses on applied labor and education economics, with a particular interest in Peru. I combine structural econometric modeling with causal identification strategies to study how families, schools and labor markets shape inequality.

My broader interests revolve around understanding the roots, effects and consequences of socioeconomic inequalities, and the design of policies and markets that help reduce them.

Fields: Labor Economics, Economics of Education, Development Economics. Secondary: Public Economics, Political Economy.
