Trivelli was born in Lima and educated in Peruvian and international institutions, studying economics at Pontifical Catholic University of Peru, University of Chile, and obtaining graduate training at University of Cambridge and research affiliations with Oxford University and London School of Economics. During her formative years she engaged with student groups and think tanks connected to Inter-American Development Bank, World Bank, and regional research centers such as Centro de Investigación de la Universidad del Pacífico and FLACSO. Her early mentors and collaborators included scholars associated with Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Chicago, and Latin American policy networks like ECLAC and IDB.
Trivelli's academic trajectory includes positions at Peruvian universities and visiting research roles at institutions such as International Food Policy Research Institute, Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative, and European Commission research programs. She has worked in interdisciplinary teams alongside economists from Stanford University, Yale University, and Brown University and collaborated with policy analysts at UNICEF, FAO, and WHO. Her research spans empirical evaluations, randomized evaluations akin to projects led by J-PAL, impact assessments similar to studies from IFPRI, and comparative analyses informed by data from INEI (Peru), World Bank Open Data, and OECD databases.
Trivelli served in ministerial and advisory roles within Peruvian institutions including the Ministry of Development and Social Inclusion (Peru), interacting with officials from the Presidency of the Council of Ministers (Peru), Ministry of Economy and Finance (Peru), and regional governments such as those of Lima Province and Arequipa. In these capacities she coordinated with international partners like the World Bank, Inter-American Development Bank, United Nations Development Programme, and bilateral agencies including USAID and DFID. Her policy work involved program design and evaluation for initiatives comparable to Conditional Cash Transfer schemes, collaborations with agencies modeled on Prospera, Bolsa Família, and national food security strategies linked to FAO and WFP operations.
