Biography

Part of the Social Protection and Labor Market Division at the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB). Formerly an Economist (ETC) at the World Bank (2023-2024), I provided technical assistance to the Angolan national statistical office in collecting and assuring quality in household surveys, besides producing policy, poverty, and inequality analyses. Also a Project Officer (2024-2026) at the International Labour Organization (ILO), fostering policies that tackle child and forced labor. Previously, a Post-Doctoral Researcher Fellow at DRCLAS/Harvard University, investigating the socioeconomic impacts of COVID-19 on Brazil. I’m also a PhD in Political Science at the University of São Paulo, when I studied why competitive democracies with stratified labor markets have redistributive expenditure policies, along with regressive tax systems. Researcher at the Center for Metropolitan Studies (CEM), Master in Political Science and previously a Visiting Fellow at Harvard University (2020).
