My research interests are in early childhood development and skill formation, the socio-economic impacts of climate and environmental shocks, and the interaction between these two processes in low and middle income contexts. My first chapter focuses on the impact of early life exposure to precipitation shocks on socio-emotional skills measured in adolescent and young adulthood in Peru. Visit my personal academic website.
