I am a Ph.D. candidate in Environmental Science at ICTA-UAB and a member of the REAL Project team, working under the supervision of Giorgos Kallis and Diego Andreucci. My dissertation is a multi-sited ethnography of Latin American post-development coalitions.

I received a B.A. in Sociology, Spanish, and Global Liberal Studies (with a concentration in Politics, Rights, and Development) from NYU in 2017. My undergraduate thesis examined transitional justice initiatives in Guatemala aimed at enfranchising populations affected by the armed conflict through land reform.

I completed an M.A. in Latin American and Caribbean Studies from CLACS at NYU in 2019, during which I obtained a GSAS Departmental Fellowship. My Master’s project used a mixed-methods approach (multi-year datasets from the LAPOP surveys and semi-structured interviews) to describe Guatemala’s multiparty system. The findings were published in a co-authored paper in 2022.

I finished an M.A. in Sociology at USC. My Master’s project relied on ethnographic and archival fieldwork in Indigenous Maya Q’eqchi communities, which organized grassroots campaigns in Guatemala’s extractive frontier. The findings were published in a solo-author paper in 2023. As a graduate student worker, I led undergraduate discussion sections on SOCI-200 Introduction to Sociology and SOCI-250mg Grassroots Participation in Global Perspective.
