I was born in 1977 in La Plata (Buenos Aires, Argentina). I graduated with a degree in Psychology from the University of Buenos Aires in 2000 and obtained a PhD in Psychology from the National University of San Luis in 2012.
I joined the research team of the Unit of Applied Neurobiology (UNA, CEMIC-CONICET) over twenty years ago, participating in different projects aimed at studying how poverty is associated with self-regulatory development during the first two decades of life: the design, implementation, and evaluation of interventions for optimizing children's self-regulatory development; and the transfer of this knowledge to the design and assessment of early childhood policies.
Since 2014, I have been a researcher at the CONICET and the co-director of the UNA. Also, since 2020, I have participated as a researcher in the Academic Unit of the Research Institute of the CEMIC University Institute (IUC).
