Welcome!
I am a PhD Candidate in the Department of Political Science at Yale University and a 2024-2025 Harry Frank Guggenheim Emerging Scholar. I am also a Graduate Fellow of the Council on Latin American and Iberian Studies at Yale's Macmillan Center for International and Global Studies and a former USIP Peace Scholar Fellow. I currently serve as the Graduate Student Coordinator for Yale's interdisciplinary Political Violence and its Legacies (PVL) workshop.
My research interests lie at the intersection of Comparative Politics and International Relations. My research centers broadly on strategies of state repression, security reform, and policing in authoritarian and post-authoritarian contexts, with a regional focus on Latin America's Southern Cone.
