I'm a Ph.D. candidate in Public Policy, at The University  of Texas at Austin

My job market paper, "The effects of investing in failing schools: Evidence from Los Angeles Unified School District," examines whether substantial resource investments can help the lowest-performing schools improve. 

I am on the 2025-2026 job market.

My research interests are in labor and health economics, with a focus on education and mental health. 

Before starting my Ph.D., I was a Fox International Fellow at Yale University. 

I received my MA in Economics from Universidad de San Andrés in Argentina and my BA in Business from UNICEN in Argentina.
