I completed my PhD in Economics at FGV/São Paulo School of Economics. My professional interests lie in international development, impact evaluation and other policy fields.
I believe strongly in the need for social research to inform public policy and improve communities’ lives. I am eager to make a positive impact while interacting with professionals in the field.
