Welcome!

​I am a Research Professor at the Universidad Autónoma de Bucaramanga (UNAB), where I lead a research agenda focused on the relationship between gender and corruption. I hold a Ph.D. in Political Science from the Center for Research and Teaching in Economics (CIDE) and a Master’s degree in Economics from the National University of La Plata (UNLP). 

My research explores multiple dimensions of corruption, including measuring, gender equality, citizen perceptions, political party structures, and civic engagement in anti-corruption efforts. Through my work, I aim to generate knowledge that informs more effective strategies to promote integrity and accountability in governance. During 2024-2025, I served as the principal investigator for the project Gender and Corruption: Laboratory Experiments in Colombian Universities, funded by the Colombian Institute for Educational Credit and Technical Studies Abroad (ICETEX). All materials can be found here. 

I have held postdoctoral positions at the Tecnológico de Monterrey and the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), where I studied the dynamics of corruption in Latin America. In 2020, I received the ZUKOnnect Fellowship from the University of Konstanz in Germany.

I currently serve on the executive committee of the Academia against Corruption in the Americas (ACA), a regional network that fosters dialogue between academic research and anti-corruption practice across the Americas region. I am also a member of the Ethics and Statutes Committee of the Latin American Policy Network (LAPN) at the International Public Policy Association (IPPA) and the Secretariat of the RC20: Political Finance and Political Corruption at the International Political Science Association (IPSA).
