About Me

Welcome! I hold a DPhil in Politics from the University of Oxford. I am currently Assistant Professor at the School of Political Science, Universidad Diego Portales (UDP). Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Center for Inter-American Policy & Research (CIPR), Tulane University.

I study what citizens ask of the state and elected representatives, who gets an answer, and why that changes. Those answers decide who is really represented in a democracy.

I work with a mix of methods — survey and field experiments, statistical analysis of administrative data, and long-term fieldwork based on interviews, participant observation, and shadowing, analyzed through process tracing.

My work has appeared in Comparative Political Studies, Democratization, Political Studies, Electoral Studies, Latin American Politics and Society, Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies, Policy Studies, Política y Gobierno, and Revista de Ciencia Política. All my articles are on my research page.
