Welcome to my website! I am a Ph.D. Candidate in Political Science at Syracuse University’s Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs.

I study legislative politics and policymaking in Latin America.  My dissertation explores the drivers of policy activity in legislatures where reelection is neither possible nor desired. I focus on Latin America, particularly Brazil and Mexico. 

I hold a master's in Political Science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. At UNC-Chapel Hill, I was also a Rotary Peace Fellow at the Duke-UNC Rotary Peace Center. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
