About me

I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Government at Tecnologico de Monterrey.  I hold a PhD in Applied Economics from the University of Minnesota, Postdoctoral Diversity Fellow in the School of Public Affairs at American University, and recipient of the Fulbright Scholarship.

My research focuses on Applied Microeconomics with a focus on Health Economics, Economics of Crime, and Gender Economics.  In particular,  I work in the following  areas: (1) the impact of shocks (pandemics, disasters, and economic crises) on  health outcomes such as fertility, obesity, and mental health, (2) the understanding of social and environmental factors that influence personal crimes, property crimes, and organized crime, and (3) the causes and consequences of domestic violence and other crimes against women.

My work has been published in Journal of Health Economics, Social Science & Medicine, Journal of Public Health, Childhood Obesity, Population Studies, Journal of Criminal Justice, Crime Science, Journal of Experimental Criminology, Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization, Economics and Human Biology, Review of Economics of the Household, Economics Letters, Review of Development Economics, and World Development.

I am a member of the Editorial Board at BMC Public Health.

In Mexico, I worked as Deputy Director of Econometric Analysis for the PROGRESA-Oportunidades conditional cash transfer program, Director of Quantitative Studies at the Minister of Social Development, and as Deputy General Director of Impact Evaluation at the Ministry of Social Development.
