I am an applied micro-economist that studies productivity, management, leadership, and entrepreneurship in the context of health and education. My work in low- and middle-income countries focuses on evaluating novel interventions aimed at increasing the human capital of individuals and firms.
I have 10 years of experience conducting large-scale research in global health and education in Latin America and Africa with institutions including the Mexican National Institute of Public Health, the Inter-American Development Bank, and the World Bank Research Group.
I am a passionate methodologist. My research combines traditional econometric techniques with data-adaptive statistical methods for estimation of causal effects. I am an advocate of using observational data under the lenses of modern causal inference to inform decision-making and policy.
