I am a Ph.D. candidate in Sociology and Historical Studies at The New School for Social Research. My research interests include political economy, theories of the state, and histories of capitalism, technology, and social movements in Latin America from the twentieth century to the present. I take an interdisciplinary approach and integrate social and political theory and the material history of capitalism in my research work. 

I currently serve as the Teaching Fellow for the course "Latin American History and Politics" at Eugene Lang College of Liberal Arts at The New School. Previously, I held the position of Teaching Assistant for the graduate course Historical Sociology, instructed by Professor Jack Jin Gary Lee at the New School for Social Research during the spring of 2024 and 2023. In the academic year 2021-22, I was a Graduate Fellow in the Mellon-funded Sawyer Seminar “Currency, Empire, Monetary Policy, Race and Power,” as well as the Janey Program in Latin American Studies. Preceding this, I held a fellowship at the Heilbroner Center for Capitalism Studies. 

I hold an M.A. in Social Science with a specialization in Sociology from El Colegio de México. I earned my Bachelors degree in Sociology from Universidad Javeriana and in Economics from Universidad de Los Andes in Bogotá, Colombia.
