Welcome!

I'm a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Demography, working on the CenSoc Project at the University of California, Berkeley. My primary research interests lie at the intersection of economics and demography, focusing on health economics, mortality, health policy, and formal demography. 

As an applied economic demographer, I aim to answer questions using quasi-experimental research designs to draw causal effects of real-life problems. 

Before starting my Ph.D. in Demography, I worked as a research analyst at the research department of the Superintendence of Pensions in Chile. I also hold a BA and MA in Economics from Universidad de Chile.
