Welcome to my website!

​

I am an Assistant Professor of Economics at the University of St Andrews. I am also a Research Affiliate at the IZA Institute of Labor Economics, the Oxford Centre for Economic and Social History, and the LSE Historical Economic Demography Group.

​My research interests are at the intersection of labor economics, economic history, and development economics. Currently, I am conducting research on (1) the impact of European immigration on agricultural development in Brazil; (2) the effect of local minimum wages on women's fertility and motherhood timing in Mexico; and (3) the short- and long-run effects of transportation infrastructure on Mexico-US migration.

​

I received my Ph.D. from the London School of Economics in 2020 and spent a year as a postdoctoral researcher at Pembroke College, University of Oxford.

I will be a Visiting Scholar in the Global Migration Center at UC Davis in Fall 2025.
