Hola! I am a PhD economics student at Boston University. I am interested in applied microeconomics, particularly in development, labor, and family economics. What keeps me up at night, aside from a cup of coffee? I am intrigued by the intricate relationship between mental health and household dynamics. My research focus lies on unraveling the mechanisms through which compromised mental health impacts families and their decision-making processes.

I hold an M.A. and a B.A. in Economics from Universidad de los Andes in Bogotá, Colombia.

I previously worked as a Pre-Doctoral research fellow at the Research Program in Development Economics (RPDE) at Princeton University and at the Centro de Estudios sobre Desarrollo Económico at Universidad de los Andes (Colombia).
