About me

I am an incoming Assistant Professor of Global Commerce at Denison University, joining in August 2025.

I hold a Ph.D. from the Department of Economics at Colorado State University. Before that, I earned my master’s degree from the Department of Economics at the University of São Paulo (USP), where I also completed my bachelor’s degree.

My research focuses on international trade and economic development, combining applied microeconomic methods with macroeconomic theory to explore policy-relevant questions. My current work examines the effects of trade shocks on various development outcomes, including structural change, mortality, and crime. My academic work has been published in Health Economics and Structural Change and Economic Dynamics, and you can find more information about my ongoing projects on the research page.

Teaching has been a central part of my academic journey. You can find more about my experience as both an instructor and a teaching assistant on the teaching page.
