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 Institute of Labor Economics, the Oxford Centre for Economic and Social History, and the LSE Historical Economic Demography Group. I received my Ph.D. from the London School of Economics in 2020 and spent a year as a postdoctoral researcher at Pembroke College, University of Oxford.

My research interests are at the intersection of labor economics, economic history, and development economics. Currently, I am conducting research on Mexico-U.S. and Canada-U.S. immigration using individual border crossings. I am also examining the impact of European immigration on agricultural development in Brazil and studying the effect of local minimum wages on women's fertility and motherhood timing in Mexico.
