About me

Welcome! I am a third-year PhD student in Business Economics at the University of California, Los Angeles, in the Global Economics and Management area at the Anderson School of Management.

My research interests lie in development, labor, behavioral, and political economy — particularly how labor markets interact with politics. More broadly, I’m interested in how norms and beliefs interact with institutions.

Before UCLA, I worked for the World Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB). I hold a master’s degree in Economics with Distinction from University College London (UCL) and an undergraduate degree in Economics from the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG), in Brazil.

You can find my papers on the research page, the tools I share on the code & resources page, and a PDF of my CV here.

In my free time I like playing Brazilian music with friends, reading literature, and enjoying the nature.
