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 gaps left by historical exclusion can outlast the convergence of schools. Comparing the two sides of a colonial divide within one Mexican city, I show that the neighborhood ties that help excluded families cope also raise the cost of educating their children.

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.
