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@LISER Network, 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, with a focus on Latin America. Currently, I am conducting research on (1) the effect of local minimum wages on women's fertility and motherhood timing in Mexico; (2) the impact of US immigration restrictions on third-country economies;  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. Before joining St Andrews, I held the Rokos Junior Research Fellowship in Economics at Pembroke College, University of Oxford.
