Sara Restrepo-Tamayo

I am a Research Professional working with Dr. Vesall Nourani at the Development Innovation Lab in the Univerisity of Chicago studying how knowledge is aggregated socially for economic purposes in predominantly rural and village settings. Previously, I worked at the Inter-American Development Bank and the Jain Family Institute on non-conditional cash transfer programs and targeting in the US and LatinAmerica. Also, I worked at IPA Colombia on gender bias in STEM, non-conditional cash transfer and COVID projects and at the Central Bank of Colombia on agricultural, credit access projects and monetary policy.

My main interests are Community, Education, Value of goods and money.

I am from a small town called Pereira, in Colombia and love outdoor activities.
