I'm a third-year PhD student in Comparative Politics at Rice University and a two-time Fulbrighter. I'm passionate about exploring the relationship between technology, politics, and human behavior. Before diving into my PhD, I worked as a Research Analyst for the Government of the City of Buenos Aires in Argentina. Outside of academia, I enjoy learning new languages, swimming, rewatching The Simpsons, and listening to Taylor Swift.

I'm deeply passionate about the study of politics, and I also enjoy both learning and teaching.

Fun fact about me:

In my free time, I enjoy practicing my hairdressing skills on my friends.

Favorite thing about Houston:

Its diversity, especially in linguistic terms — you can hear so many different languages spoken!
