I am a fourth-year Ph.D. student in Political Science at Washington University in St. Louis. My research in comparative politics and political economy examines how political institutions and party organization shape representation, distributive politics, and political polarization. My work focuses primarily on Latin America.
Before joining WashU, I earned a Master’s degree and a B.A. in Political Science from the Universidad de la República (Uruguay), where I also completed a Diploma in Economics.
