​
Welcome to my website!
​
I am a researcher at the University of Lisbon and a fellow associated with the POPVOX Foundation. I am the author of the book MyNews Explica: Congresso Brasileiro, published by Almedina Brasil. I write ModParl, a POPVOX Foundation newsletter dedicated to legislative modernization, as well as my own newsletter, where I explore how we can better understand and reimagine politics.​ I host a weekly video column on MyNews.  

I hold a Ph.D. in Political Science from Syracuse University and an M.A. in Political Science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow with the Brazilian Policy Agendas Project at the University of São Paulo, 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.
