Bio

Welcome to my website! I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Social Science at the University of Houston- Downtown. 

I hold a PhD. from the University of Houston, a bachelor's degree in law, and a master's in Law. 

My research focuses on judicial politics, comparative politics, democracy, and democratic backsliding, with a particular emphasis on Latin America. My work has been published in The Journal of Legal Studies (Measuring the Counter-Majoritarian Nature of Supreme Court Decisions), the British Journal of Political Science (External Threats, Capacity, and Repression: How the Threat of War Affects Political Development and Physical Integrity Rights), and Political Research Quarterly ("The Partisan Foundations of Attitudes towards State Supreme Courts").
