About me

My research focuses on global health economics, mainly empirical research in public health and rigorous program/policy evaluation in health.

At the same time, my research interests are driven by how public health spending, pharmaceutical policies, technology, and system strengthening strategies affect population health outcomes (such as high maternal mortality/teen pregnancy) in developing countries.

I want to make evidence-based and cost-effective research to advise governments to effectively respond to health, poverty, and inequality issues. I am a results-focused professional, oriented to people, and motivated to make a positive change in society.

I am currently working in Nigeria on a counterfeit drugs project. I also work in the Dominican Republic as part of AxisHealth in an artificial Intelligence-Enhanced Epidemiological Dashboard for Santo Domingo.

I enjoy teaching developing economics, public policy, research methods, and health economics at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

I am proficient in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, and an intermediary in French. I consider myself a curious individual who relishes walking, reading, drinking coffee, and dancing tropical rhythms.
