I am a Ph.D. student in Political Science, focusing on Law and Politics, Research Methods, and Comparative Politics. My dissertation explores the politics of transnational police crafting, particularly through the study of networks of police bureaucrats and policing assistance programs between the U.S. and Latin America.                 I am interested in judicial politics, global policing, political violence, and computational text analysis.
