I am a Postdoctoral Associate at the Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management at Cornell University. In July 2025, I will be joining the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group.

My research spans labor economics, organizational economics, and development economics, with a focus on business formation, the role of management practices, and firms' pay structures and internal labor markets. In these projects, I'm interested in making academic contributions that are also highly relevant to the private sector and policymakers.

I hold a Ph.D. in Business Economics from Insper.
