I have been an Assistant Professor of Economics at Boston College since July 2020. I finished my Ph.D. degree at the University of Chicago in 2019 and was a postdoctoral associate at the Tobin Center at Yale University between 2019 and 2020. My research interests are in the economics of education and applied market design.
Prior to Chicago, I obtained a master's degree in economics and an BSc in Mathematics at the Universidad de los Andes in Colombia.
