About

I earned my B.A in International Economics from the University of Havana-Cuba and my M.A in Development Economics from the Latin-American School of Social Sciences (FLACSO) in Quito-Ecuador.

Before coming to UMASS-Amherst, I worked at the University of Havana, as a junior professor of Political Economy, Macroeconomic Planning, and the Epistemology of Economics.

My research focuses on the political economy of global elites, corporate power and inequality. I see my work as being part of a long-standing tradition within the International Political Economy (IPE) scholarship, which has examined how elite networks affect inequalities in wealth and power in modern societies.
