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 Adjunct Instructor at Utah Tech University, 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 and a contributor for the SPGS Experimental Lab at Arizona State University.

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.
