About me
I am a Ph.D. candidate in Business Economics at the Insper Institute of Education and Research in São Paulo, Brazil. I was a Visiting Research Scholar at Northwestern University, invited by Ivan Canay, with a FAPESP Fellowship.
My research interests are theoretical and applied econometrics. Currently, I focus on discontinuity-based estimators.

Beyond academia
I am originally from Londrina, Brazil and earned my B.A. in Economics from FGV/EPGE in Rio de Janeiro. I love learning languages (and that includes programming). In addition to Portuguese and English, I studied Spanish for many years and am currently learning Italian. I also spent a year in Finland as a high school exchange student, which gave me a basic understanding of Finnish. I watch a lot of sports (though I don’t practice any) and have practiced yoga for many years.
I have taken the Giving What We Can pledge and currently donate 5% of my income to effective causes. My giving is partially directed toward Brazil through organizations like Barcos Hospitais and DoeBem. I also pledge to increase this amount to 10% in the next few years.
