Welcome! I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Political Science Department at the University of California, Los Angeles, concentrating in International Relations and Methodology. My research concerns the role of institutions in transitioning and weak democracies, particularly in Latin America. In my dissertation, I consider the impact of international human rights courts in weak democracies and the circumstances under which states comply with court rulings, with evidence from the Inter-American Court of Human Rights.
I received my B.A. from the University of Virginia in 2013, where I majored in Classics and Political Philosophy, Policy, and Law.
