Hello there!

I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Political Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

My main fields of study are Comparative Politics and Quantitative Methods. My research examines how bureaucrats’ attitudes influence policy implementation and the rule of law. In particular, I am interested in bureaucratic zeal as a driver of regulatory enforcement in contexts with strong pressures against it, such as the case of environmental policy. I have a regional emphasis in Latin America, and I also have ongoing interests in causal inference, individual-level adaptation to climate change, as well as the broader field of environmental politics.

I am a Graduate Research Fellow at the MIT Governance Lab, as well as an Editorial Assistant at the American Journal of Political Science. I am also the proud recipient of the Luksic Fellowship awarded by the Luksic Scholars Foundation.

I received my BA in Political Science from the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile (PUC-Chile).
