Welcome! I am a PhD Candidate in the Department of Politics at the City University of New York (CUNY). My work deals with the short- and medium-term effects of different models of transition to democracy. To do this, I am building a dataset covering the entire professional trajectory of authoritarian elites and their children in Spain, Portugal, Argentina, Chile, Brazil, and Peru.  My work has been published in Electoral Studies, Journal of Elections, Public Opinions and Parties, and Acta Politica. Additionally, I have published two books on the Spanish Transition to democracy.
