I am a postdoctoral researcher at Texas A & M University. I obtained my PhD in Economics at the University of California Santa Barbara, where I developed research in Experimental and Behavioral Economics. My research is centered on how individuals process information, form beliefs, and make decisions under uncertainty, focusing on misinformation and risk preferences. I combine experimental methods and theoretical modeling to explore these areas, particularly higher-order beliefs, feedback mechanisms, and how people value information.

I’m excited to continue my work in economic research, focusing on information economics and decision theory. My Job Market Paper explored the effect of feedback on the demand for verification in the context of misinformation. The results aim to help design more effective interventions to fight misinformation.

Where am I from?

I was born and raised in Mexico City and studied at UNAM, where I got a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and postgraduate training in Statistics. There, I became interested in experimental methods and behavior models. With this background, I naturally moved to Economics and decided to complete my Master’s in Economics at CIDE, where I was exposed to more rigorous mathematical analysis. After graduation, I worked at IFT and ASBA and later received the Fulbright-García Robles scholarship to begin my PhD at UCSB in 2019.

Where am I going next?

I will continue researching as a postdoc, completing the research I haven’t published and starting new projects. I expect to be back in the job market to start in 2027.
