I am an economist and data scientist at Mercado Libre. Prior to this position, I was a lecturer in statistics and econometrics at the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs. My research applies quantitative methods, drawing from econometrics, statistics, and machine learning, to better understand the decisions of people and firms.

I hold a PhD in economics from Princeton, where I was also a Social Data Science graduate fellow.
