Miguel is a graduate student at the University of Minnesota. His research examines how the role of culture and acculturation processes influences immigrant Latino families' financial decision-making.

Miguel is the son of immigrant parents who grew up experiencing a lot of the challenges around finances that immigrant families face, which is what led him to this type of work. He's currently working on two separate studies investigating the experiences/consequences of unbanked immigrants and those who participate in lending circles (aka Tandas).
