About me
I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Government and Public Administration at Universidad Mayor in Santiago, Chile. I received my Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of California, Irvine, and I hold an M.A. in Political Science from UC Irvine and an M.A. in Communication from Universidad Diego Portales, Chile. I also have a B.A. in Political Science from Universidad Alberto Hurtado, Chile.
My research focuses on political communication, electoral behavior, and public opinion, with an emphasis on Chile. I have worked on topics such as election campaigns and political personalization, political participation and digital activism, misinformation on social media, and political attitudes and perceptions.
I am the principal investigator of a FONDECYT Regular grant (2026–2030) titled “From Words to Actions: Election Campaigns and Legislative Behavior in Chile,” which examines the relationship between election campaigns and subsequent legislative behavior.
I am affiliated with the Centro de Investigación en Sociedad y Salud at Universidad Mayor and the Núcleo Milenio para el Estudio de la Política, Opinión Pública y Medios en Chile (MEPOP).
