Welcome to my website!

I am an incoming Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Gothenburg as part of the Fem-LEAD project. 

I received my PhD in Political Science from Rice University in 2024.

I specialize in comparative politics with a regional focus in Latin America. My research explores how corruption shapes voter behavior, elite behavior, and representation. I study when and why voters enact electoral accountability for corruption and how elites can evade accountability when their corruption is exposed. I am also interested in how elite gender influences the impact that corruption has on accountability and representation. My research has been published in Political Behavior and Electoral Studies.

I use various quantitative methods in my research including survey experiments, large scale statistical analyses, and text analysis. I also rely on qualitative data collected in the field. In Fall 2022, I conducted elite and expert interviews in Buenos Aires, Argentina for my dissertation.
