About Me

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, a contributor for the SPGS Experimental Lab, a Research Analyst at BSP Research, and was a Lead Research Consultant for the Latino Politics and Policy Institute at the University of California, Los Angeles.

Overall, my research explores how political context shapes Latino political attitudes and civic engagement, with attention to structural racism.

I work at the intersections of Latino politics, organized interests, political attitudes, and mixed methods. I have extensive experience with designing and implementing surveys, interviews, and focus groups. I have strong programming skills in Python, which I use throughout in various ways, from web scraping and API-based data collection to parsing and extracting data from PDFs, cleaning and merging large datasets, and automating analysis pipelines.

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.
