I am a PhD Candidate in Politics at the University of Oxford, Department of Politics and International Relations (DPIR). From September 2024 to September 2025, I am a Rafael Del Pino Excellence Fellow. Starting Fall 2025, I will be an LSE Fellow in Political Science and Public Policy at London School of Economics (School of Public Policy).
My research interests lie at the intersection of comparative political economy, political sociology, and political behaviour. In my dissertation, I investigate the increasing significance of political identities in nonpolitical settings across advanced economies. My work particularly focuses on how these identities shape the behaviour of employees and firms. In parallel, I also explore how different fields of university education influence political attitudes and civic behaviors.
Prior to starting the doctorate, I graduated from the London School of Economics (MSc in Comparative Politics) and the University Carlos III of Madrid (Dual Bachelor's Degree in Political Science and Sociology).
Outside academia, I was a Europe analyst at Teneo’s political risk division in London from September 2018 to September 2021.
