Bio/CV

I am a Research Associate at the DIW Berlin. I am also a PhD Candidate at the Berlin School of Economics and the HU Berlin.

My work focuses on environmental economics, particularly in the areas of climate (taxes and subsidies), air quality, and energy.

I was born and raised in Mexico, where I earned a BA in economics at the Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de Mexico (ITAM). I later earned a Master’s degree in public policy from the Hertie School in Berlin.

Prior to my PhD, I worked in the policy arena. At the International Carbon Action Partnership (ICAP), a multilateral organization, I researched strategies for effective implementation of emissions trading schemes. Before moving to Germany, I worked in Mexico at the Ministry of Finance, the National Institute of Ecology and Climate Change, and the Centro Mario Molina.
