About me

I am a PhD candidate in Economics at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) and the Barcelona School of Economics (BSE). Previously, I spent five years in investment banking and private equity, followed by three years in development finance at IDB Invest (Inter-American Development Bank), where I joined the Young Professionals Program in the Infrastructure and Energy Division in Santiago de Chile. 

I hold an MSc in Local Economic Development from the LSE (London) and an MRes in Economic Analysis from UAB (Barcelona). I have also done short academic visits at FEA-USP (São Paulo), TSE (Tolouse), and Columbia SIPA (New York). I grew up in Bogotá, Colombia.

I am visiting Columbia University in Jan-Feb 2026 as a Visiting PhD student. Please reach out if you would like to connect! 

Research interests: Contract theory and sustainable finance (main). Networks, industrial organization and environmental economics (secondary).
