I am a senior research specialist at the Busara Center in Nairobi, Kenya. I primarily work as a research assistant for Johannes Haushofer at Stockholm University, and coauthors. I recently accepted a Ph.D. position at the Harvard Kennedy School, starting the coming Fall.

I am interested in the study of Political Economy using elaborate empirical tools. I am curious about ways of increasing the representation of women and minorities in the economy and the public sphere, and in turn, how the right representation can improve livelihoods and welfare.

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.
