Welcome!

I am a PhD candidate specializing in labor economics at the University of Maryland. You can find my CV here.

In Fall 2025, I will join the Economics Department at Los Andes University as an Assistant Professor.

My research leverages quasi-experimental variation and large administrative datasets to examine the impact of labor and education policies on individual decisions and well-being.

My job market paper studies how credit utilization and household labor supply respond to wage increases.
