Welcome to my website

I am a Data Analyst and Project Manager at the Latin-American Laboratory for Assessment of the Quality of Education (LLECE) at UNESCO Santiago. My research interests focus on inequalities related to socioeconomic status and social class, as well as the role of knowledge and sciences in social life.

Previously, I served as Research Manager at JPAL-LAC and have collaborated as a research assistant on various research projects. I hold a Master in Public Policy from the University of Chile and both a Master’s and Bachelor’s degree in Sociology from Alberto Hurtado University.
