I am a PhD student at the School of Politics and Global Studies at Arizona State University, a Graduate Emerging Scholar at the Center for Latina/os and American Politics Research, an Adjunct Instructor at Utah Tech University, a Research Analyst at BSP Research, and was a Research Consultant for the Latino Politics and Policy Institute at the University of California, Los Angeles and a contributor for the SPGS Experimental Lab at Arizona State University.

I work at the intersections of identity, organized interests, representation, and mixed methods. My research focuses on how Latinos are represented in and organize within American political institutions, with attention to structural and institutional disparities. See my research interests here.

My up-to-date CV is available here. 

I earned my Master of Arts (with distinction) in Political Science from Arizona State University with my project entitled "Race, Partisanship, and Loyalty: Exploring the Individual Effects of Redistricting on Representation Attitudes."

I graduated summa cum laude from the University of New Mexico with a BA in Political Science, a BA in Psychology, and a minor in Criminology.
