​​I am a Ph.D. candidate in Political Science at the University of California, Berkeley.  ​I study comparative politics, political economy and political methodology, with a regional focus on Latin America.

My dissertation research centers broadly on religion and politics, focusing on how religious ideas shape the electoral influence of religious actors. 

I am a Research Associate at the Center on the Politics of Development. I was previously a Penn Pre-Doctoral Fellow at the Political Science Department at the University of Pennsylvania (2016-2017 academic year). During the 2017-2018 academic year, I am a non-resident Pre-Doctoral Fellow at the Global Religion Research Initiative of the Center for the Study of Religion and Society at the University of Notre Dame.
