About Me

I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at The Center for Inter-American Policy and Research (CIPR), Tulane University. I received my PhD in Political Science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2024. I also hold an M.A in Sociology from Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile and an M.A in Political Science from UNC-Chapel Hill.

My research focuses on political psychology, public opinion, and political parties from a comparative perspective. I study how institutional and political contexts shape the way individuals define and perceive themselves politically. My research has been published in several peer-reviewed journals, including Party Politics, the European Journal of Political Research, the Journal of Politics in Latin America, and the Latin American Research Review.

I also coordinate the Chapel Hill Expert Survey - Latin America (CHES-LA) with Jonathan Hartlyn and Cecilia Martínez-Gallardo. The first wave, conducted in 2020, asked 160 experts to place 112 political parties and 13 presidents on an extensive set of issues and dimensions. The data can be accessed here.
