ABOUT & experience

I’m a Fellow at the Political Reform program at New America, a Washington D.C. based think tank. I’m also the program’s former deputy director.

I research and write on issues related to representation, participation, and identity in the U.S. and Brazil.

Prior to working at New America, I was a Junior Fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in D.C. There, I conducted research on the rule of law in various countries, systematic corruption as a threat to national security, and perceptions of inequality and their correlation to insurgent behavior.

Prior to Carnegie, I worked for the United Nations Population Fund in New York and the Greek Consulate in Brazil.

I’m an honors graduate of Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne where I studied Political Science.
