I am a PhD candidate in Economics at Paris School of Economics and EHESS, where my research is supervised by Suanna Oh and Thierry Verdier, with Ekaterina Zhuravskaya on my thesis committee. Before Paris, I completed my BA and MSc in Economics at CIDE in Mexico.

I am on the 2026–27 economics job market.

My job market paper studies why educational inequality can persist long after the institutions that created it disappear. Using a historical divide in Guadalajara, Mexico, I show that children on the historically excluded side remain less likely to attend school nearly five centuries later, even after school provision converges across the boundary. I trace this persistence to a demand-side role for the neighborhood social environment. The paper was awarded the ACES Dissertation Research Fellowship and the Economic History Association Dissertation Fellowship.

I also study skin-tone and ethnic disparities; the long-run effects of colonial institutions on cities; and the political economy of populism and local development in Mexico and Latin America.
