About Me

Thank you for visiting my website. I am a Ph.D. candidate in Agricultural and Resource Economics at the University of Connecticut and will be on the 2025–2026 academic job market.

My research examines how public policies influence labor markets, maternal and infant health, and economic inequality. I study how employer market concentration shapes the effects of minimum wage policies on employment and earnings. In parallel, I analyze the impact of the 2022 infant formula shortage on breastfeeding behaviors and healthcare costs. My work aims to inform policy design at the intersection of labor economics and health policy, leveraging large administrative datasets and quasi-experimental methods. You can find my CV here.

Previously, I spent six years developing credit risk models for financial institutions in Spain, Italy, and France. I strengthened my ability to work with complex datasets and communicate analytical insights effectively, guiding high-stakes financial decisions.
