I am a current student Ed.D doctoral candidate at St. John's University in New York City where I am studying Higher Education leadership and administration. I was raised in Flushing - located in Queens, N.Y.C. which is considered the most diverse place on the planet. I currently work for the City University of New York (CUNY) as an academic advisor and professional development counselor for a graduate school of social work scholarship program for working professionals. This program has functioned to increase access to graduate study in social work for front line human service professionals traditionally underrepresented in graduate social work studies. I hold a graduate degree in Public Affairs from the Marxe School of Public and International Affairs at Baruch College and a graduate degree in Social Work from the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College. I work to address issues of access and equity in education as well as macro level social justice reforms and restorative justice for historical disenfranchisement. I am a Puerto Rican woman who was born and raised in New York City. I am also a poet and spoken word artist.

I am a behavioural economist at Wageningen Economic Research. My research focuses on impact evaluations of development interventions and on the role behaviour drivers in transition processes – mainly in low and middle income countries, but increasingly in high-income countries as well. I use survey data to map production and consumption decisions, and experimental data to elicit risk attitudes and social preferences of individuals, complemented with qualitative methods.
I am involved in multiple research projects on transition processes worldwide. I conduct impact evaluation projects in the domains of nutrition and sustainable rural development in international, multidisciplinary research teams, among others commissioned by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, DFID, and Rainforest Alliance.
Before joining Wageningen Economic Research, I conducted my PhD research at the Development Economics Group at Wageningen University on the role of informal institutions on rural development in Liberia and worked as a post-doctoral researcher on various impact evaluation projects in Sub-Saharan Africa. I have a track-record of academic publications in peer-reviewed journals.
