I am a Presidential Postdoctoral Fellow and incoming Assistant Professor in the School of Politics and Global Studies at Arizona State University.

My research examines political representation, with an emphasis on electoral politics, elite behavior, and historically marginalized groups, primarily in Latin America and the United States. I use mixed methods, combining experimental and observational designs with causal inference, machine learning, and qualitative insights derived primarily from fieldwork. A key part of my work involves engaging political elites and marginalized communities, and developing measures and datasets to advance the study of representation.

My work also addresses gender and racial inequality through collaborations with academic, government, civil society, and international organizations, particularly in Uruguay, and through publicly engaged scholarship.

I hold a BA in Political Science and a Graduate Diploma in Economics from the Universidad de la República, and a PhD in Political Science from Rice University. I was a Visiting PhD in Quantitative Political Economy at King’s College London in Spring 2024.
