Welcome to my website!
I am a Research Fellow at the University of Lisbon, a Postdoctoral Fellow with the Brazilian Policy Agendas Project at the University of São Paulo, and a Fellow at POPVOX Foundation. I am author of the book MyNews Explica: Congresso Brasileiro, published by Almedina Brasil. I edit and write ModParl, a newsletter from POPVOX Foundation dedicated to legislative modernization, as well as my own newsletter, where I explore how we can better understand and reimagine politics.
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. Previously, I was a Visiting Fellow at the SNF Agora Institute at Johns Hopkins University and a Senior Researcher at the Center for Studies on the Brazilian Congress at the State University of Rio de Janeiro. I also worked as a legislative assistant at the U.S. House of Representatives as a 2021-2022 APSA Congressional Fellow. You can find me on Bluesky, X, and Instagram.
