About

I am a PhD candidate in Social Sciences at the Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA), Argentina, and a CONICET-funded doctoral fellow at the Interdisciplinary Center for the Study of Public Policies (CIEPP). Additionally, I am a Junior Fellow at the Center for Applied Transgender Studies (CATS).I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Economics from UBA and a Master’s in Care Policies with a Gender Perspective, jointly awarded by the Latin American Council of Social Sciences (CLACSO) and FLACSO Brazil.I lecture on Gender and Economics at the undergraduate level at UBA and in the Master’s Program in Economic Development at the Instituto de Altos Estudios Sociales (IDAES), Universidad Nacional de San Martín.

About my research

My work spans gender studies, queer and feminist epistemologies, cissexism, and distributive justice, with a particular focus on LGBTQI+ communities. I also investigate the history of feminist economics, the sustainability of life, and social reproduction. My primary focus examines the living conditions and rights access of transgender people, bridging care studies and trans theory. Additionally, I explore the intersections of gender, macroeconomic policy, and social welfare. My broader research agenda includes fiscal and tax justice, austerity measures, trade agreements, sovereign debt, corporate power, and their implications for social justice. I employ mixed-methods research, combining quantitative and qualitative analysis, with an emphasis on social protection, labor, care economies, and political economy.
