I am sociologist, researcher and educator. I received my PhD and MPhil in Sociology from the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, my MA in Sociology from the University of Maryland, CP, and my BA in Sociology, with honors, from the University of Buenos Aires.

My areas of research have been immigration, redistribution, inequality, poverty and child poverty. I have specialized and employed in my research quantitative, qualitative, and comparative methods.
