I am an Associate Professor at Universidad de los Andes in Bogotá, Colombia, where I hold a joint appointment in the Department of Economics and School of Government, and a team member of Sendas Think Tank in Honduras.

I have also been invited to join the IZA Institute of Labor Economics as a Research Fellow and CEDLAS as an Associate Researcher.

I received my Ph.D. in Agricultural & Applied Economics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; an M.A. in Economics at Universidad Nacional de la Plata (Argentina); and my undergraduate degree from the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Honduras.
