Welcome!

I am a third-year PhD student in the Department of Political Science at Vanderbilt University and graduate affiliate at the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions. My research lies at the intersection of comparative politics and the political economy of development, with a focus on how political connections and institutions shape socioeconomic outcomes in Latin America. Before coming to Vanderbilt, I studied Public Policy and Administration at Universidad de San Andrés, worked on legislation and local politics, and played college tennis. I am originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
