I am an Economist with research interests in the intersection between international economics, macro-finance, and public economics. In particular, my work focuses on understanding the role of financial frictions and heterogeneity on the macroeconomy during financial crises. My professional experience is in central banking and the private financial industry. I hold a Ph.D. and M.A. from The University of Pennsylvania and an M.A. and B.A. from ITAM in Mexico City.
