About Me

I am an Associate Professor in the School of Public Policy at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. My primary research fields are environmental and natural resource economics and policy, with a focus on water resources and ecosystems.

 

I am also a Fellow at Resources for the Future (RFF) in Washington, DC, a member of the Water Science and Technology Board (WSTB) at the National Academies, and an at-large appointee to the Chesapeake Bay Program’s Scientific and Technical Advisory Committee (STAC).

​​

I was born in Toronto, Canada, and raised in Santiago, Chile, where I lived until I graduated high school. When I'm not working, I enjoy hiking, running, cooking, and spending time with my family.
