Economist and data analyst delivering rigorous research, econometrics, and forecasting for finance and development decisions.
ColombiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m an Economist with experience in research, data analysis, finance, teaching, and community work. I bring analytical rigor and a strategic, international perspective to high-impact projects, supported by my work in economic analysis and forecasting and my development-focused education.
I’ve strengthened my value through roles like Research Assistant, Economic Analysis and Forecasting Lab, and Teaching Assistant, Financial Mathematics, alongside teaching and tutoring (including IB Economics and A1–C1 English). I also share my work through a presented macroeconomics publication on the effects of heterogeneity in credit access, while translating complex analysis into clear, decision-ready storytelling for strategic outcomes.
