Hi, welcome to my page. I’m a political science PhD candidate, instructor, and teaching assistant at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

I primarily study how immigration policy affects political behavior, identity formation, and attitudes in the United States using quantitative methods.

My research has been published in Politics, Groups, and Identities. I have received funding support from the American Political Science Association Centennial Center, the Global Latinidades Center, and the UC Santa Barbara Graduate Division Central Fellowship.

Informed by a large original survey and conjoint experiment I fielded in 2025, my current and ongoing work addresses immigration and perceptions of fairness in state-level policy design.
