Hello there!

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

My main fields are Comparative Politics and Quantitative Methods. In particular, my research focuses on the relationship between environmental enforcement and state building, with a regional emphasis in Latin America. I also have ongoing interests in bureaucratic politics, causal inference, and state-society relations in frontier regions.

I am the proud recipient of the Luksic Fellowship awarded by the Luksic Scholars Foundation. I am also a Graduate Research Fellow at the MIT Governance Lab.

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