Hello there!

I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Political Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

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 a Graduate Research Fellow at the MIT Governance Lab, as well as an Editorial Assistant at the American Journal of Political Science. I am also the proud recipient of the Luksic Fellowship, awarded by the Luksic Foundation.

I received my BA in Political Science from the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile (PUC-Chile).
