Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT — Palmira, Colombia.

I am a PhD economist with expertise in impact evaluation and applied development economics. My research focuses on agriculture, sustainability, and rural development — with particular attention to the impacts of policies, technologies, and market interventions on productivity, livelihoods, and environmental outcomes.

Currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT, I combine causal inference methods with field data to generate policy-relevant evidence for agri-food systems in developing countries.

You can find my CV here and my publications on this page.
