Before coming to Northwestern, I worked as an academic assistant at the Argentine Council for International Relations (CARI), a preeminent Latin American think tank advising on foreign policy and multilateral diplomacy. I received my B.A. from the University of Buenos Aires (Argentina, 2016) and my M.A. in International Politics and Economy from San Andrés University (Argentina, 2021).
