I am a research specialist at the Busara Center in Nairobi, Kenya. I primarily work as a research assistant for Johannes Haushofer at Stockholm University, and coauthors at UC Berkeley, The World Bank, Princeton University, UC San Diego, among others.
I love my job in Nairobi. It gives me exposure to pure academic research, but outside of the usual university environment. In Busara I am surrounded by a vibrant, international community, with extremely talented people coming from different areas of expertise and backgrounds. My research interest lies in the intersection between political science and economics.
Prior to moving to Kenya, I completed a Master’s degree in Economics at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. I wrote my thesis on the Impact of the Women’s March on the U.S. House Election. Now it is a working paper, coauthored with my former advisor Felipe González.
