Welcome!
I'm a second-year PhD student in the Department of Political Science at Vanderbilt University, specializing in comparative politics and causal inference. Broadly, I study political economy of development, multilevel governance and supply-side political behavior in Latin America.
Before coming to Vanderbilt I received an MA in Public Policy and Administration from Universidad de San Andrés and a BA in Political Science from Keiser University, where I played tennis. I'm originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
