I am originally from Brazil and hold a Ph.D. in Economics (2015) from UNICAMP, Campinas, Brazil, with a research fellowship at the University of Leeds (UK). My research focuses on monetary policy, Banking Systems, money, financial crisis, and economics education. My thesis, “Banks, Shadow Banks, and Endogenous Money: Challenges to the Federal Reserve’s Monetary Policy in the 21st century”, won the 2016 CAPES award as the best thesis in Economics defended in 2015 in Brazil. I am currently working on Central Bank Digital Currencies and their impacts on monetary policy and payment systems. My work is published in several international journals such as Brazilian Journal of Political Economy, Revue de La Régulation, Review of Keynesian Economics, International Journal of Pluralism and Economics Education, International Journal of Political Economy, etc.

At St. Francis College, I teach Economics courses such as Principles of Macroeconomics, Money and Banking, Analysing the US Economy, Human Rights, Sustainability and Global Finance, International Economics, among others. I also serve as the faculty advisor for the SFC Chapter of the Omicron Delta Epsilon Honors Society in Economics.
