Research

I use large administrative datasets and simulations to study the interactions of Venezuelan immigrants and Peruvian schoolchildren in the context of a large and rapid immigration inflow produced by the unprecedented exodus of Venezuelan families into Peru. In my Job Market Paper, I use quasi-random classroom assignment to quantify and interpret the impact of an additional Venezuelan classmate on the academic performance of Peruvian eighth graders.

I also use primary data on research in Health and Education. I am a co-Principal Investigator on a Randomized Controlled Trial in the Peruvian highlands that aims to improve sexual education for high-school indigenous-language speakers. [Project Page]

Teaching

I have worked as a Teaching Assistant since 2013. Before Duke, I taught Intermediate Macroeconomics (UG) at Universidad del Pacifico (2013-2014) and then led Industrial Organization (UG) discussion sessions at Universidad de Piura (2016-2018), where I obtained a Certificate in College Teaching. At Duke, I have led discussion sessions in Microeconomics (UG) and Econometrics (G) and, for the latter, I provided guidance and feedback on student research projects.

Below is a list of my teaching experience at Duke, teaching evaluations are available upon request.
