Hello there!
I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Political Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
My main fields of study are Comparative Politics and Quantitative Methods. My research examines how bureaucrats’ attitudes influence policy implementation and the rule of law. In particular, I am interested in bureaucratic zeal as a driver of regulatory enforcement in contexts with strong pressures against it, such as the case of environmental policy. I have a regional emphasis in Latin America, and I also have ongoing interests in causal inference, individual-level adaptation to climate change, as well as the broader field of environmental politics.
I am the proud recipient of the Luksic Fellowship awarded by the Luksic Scholars Foundation. I am also a Graduate Research Fellow at the MIT Governance Lab.
I received my BA in Political Science from the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile (PUC-Chile).
