About me

I’m a postdoctoral researcher with the Center for Inter-American Policy and Research (CIPR) at Tulane University and a senior researcher at the Instituto de Estudios Peruanos (IEP). I hold a PhD in Political Science from the University of British Columbia (UBC) and a licenciatura in Political Science and Government and bachelor’s degree in Social Sciences with a major in Political Science and Government, Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú (PUCP). I have been a Fox International Fellow (2019-20) at Yale University, a Public Scholars Initiative Fellow at UBC (2020), the Human-Centric Cyber-Security Fellow with the Electoral Integrity Project (2024), and the country coordinator for Peru at the Varieties of Democracy Project V-Dem (2014-2021). In 2024, I was granted the international and interdisciplinary prize Social Contract XXI from the Maison Rousseau et Littérature in Geneve, Switzerland.
