I am an economist working at Moody’s Local and at the Economics Department of the University of Costa Rica.

I graduated as PhD in Development Economics at The Ohio State University in 2015.  My dissertation work focused on food security, particularly on the determinants of global food price volatility, and on the role of  grain buffer stocks as a tool to hedge against price volatility.

My areas of interest include finance, development economics, macroeconomics, computational economics, econometrics, and income inequality.
