I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Political Science at Vanderbilt University, where I am also a graduate student affiliate of the Latin American Public Opinion Project.
I study representation and accountability with a regional focus on Latin America. My work investigates the linkages between citizens and political elites, the role of political institutions in influencing legislator responsiveness to their constituents, as well as how citizens can or fail to hold their representatives accountable.
My work and graduate training has been supported by a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship, a John A. Garcia Scholarship from the Society for Political Methodology to attend the ICPSR Summer Program in Quantitative Methods of Social Research, as well as a Tinker Award from the Center for Latin American Studies at Vanderbilt University to undertake field research in Mexico. My work has appeared in Electoral Studies.
