​
I am a Senior Researcher at the Center for Studies on the Brazilian Congress (NECON) at the State University of Rio de Janeiro and a Fellow at POPVOX Foundation. I was previously a  Visiting Fellow at the SNF Agora Institute at Johns Hopkins University. I also worked as a legislative assistant for Rep. Gregory W. Meeks at the U.S. House of Representatives as a 2021-2022 APSA Congressional Fellow. I hold a Ph.D. in political science from the Maxwell School at Syracuse University and a M.A. in political science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I am also a contributor to the Brazilian Policy Agendas Project, a consultant to research4impact and a columnist at the Brazilian Report. 

I study the behavior of politicians from a comparative perspective. How do politicians go about doing their jobs? And which politicians actually care about passing public policy? My research investigates legislative effectiveness in a comparative perspective, with a focus on Latin America and the United States. More broadly, I investigate framing strategies used by politicians to shape policy  debates, particularly with regards to gun control in Brazil.
