I am an applied economist and political economy researcher studying how institutions, industrial and development policies, and public programs shape inequality, labor-market outcomes, and socioeconomic well-being, with a particular focus on Latin America. My research combines causal inference and applied econometrics with large-scale administrative, survey, and census data to examine how structural reforms and state capacity affect human capital formation, labor precarity, and demographic outcomes across regions and cohorts.

I hold a Master’s degree in Applied Economics from the Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México (ITAM) and a B.A. in Economics with a specialization in Quantitative Analysis from San Diego State University. My work engages questions at the intersection of political economy and development, emphasizing the political and institutional mechanisms that sustain poverty and inequality in poorer and marginalized regions. Through rigorous empirical analysis, I aim to generate policy-relevant evidence that can inform more inclusive, equitable, and effective public policy design.
