I am a Ph.D. Candidate at the Sanford School of Public Policy in Duke University working on Education Economics and Immigration in Latin America. Before coming to Duke, I majored in Economics from Universidad del Pacifico, Peru. You can find my CV here.
I am a member of the Development Lab at Duke Department of Economics.
My main research project focuses on the interaction between immigrants and natives in Peruvian schools. I make use of large datasets and causal inference methods to determine the effects of increased immigrant presence on natives' academic performance, and explore natives' responses in reaction to the immigration shock.
I am also a co-Principal Investigator on a Randomized Controlled Trial in the Peruvian highlands related to Sexual Education and Native Languages.
Before graduate school, I worked as a Research Assistant for a project about the long-term impacts of a colonial forced labor system on Peruvian firms' outcomes today.
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.
