Prior to LSE, I completed a Master in Public Administration in International Development from Harvard University and a Bachelor in Economics from Universidad del Pacífico. I have worked as a researcher in governance issues for The World Bank, J-PAL Latin America and as a civil servant in Peru. Several of my research questions emerged out of my experience as a practitioner of public policy in the Global South.
