Welcome!

I am an economist interested in development economics, political economy, and economic history. My research focuses on how institutions and cultural norms affect development policy in Central America and Central Africa.

I am an Assistant Professor at the Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan and a Faculty Research Fellow at the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER). I was a postdoctoral scholar at the Harvard Academy for International and Area Studies (2019-2020).

I am from San José, Costa Rica. I received my PhD in economics from Harvard University in 2018. I graduated from Stanford University with a B.A. in Economics in 2010 and with an M.S. in Statistics in 2011.
