I study how governments, voters, and businesses understand and address long-term policy challenges, particularly climate change.

I am a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Public Policy in the Department of Political Science at University College London.

Previously, I held postdoctoral fellowships at UC Berkeley and Princeton University. I have also been a Visiting Fellow at the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at LSE.

I received my PhD in Political Science from the LSE’s Department of Government in 2019. During my PhD, I was a visiting research student at UC Berkeley’s Department of Political Science.

My work has appeared in The Journal of Politics, the British Journal of Political Science, Comparative Political Studies, Science, Nature Energy, Socio-Economic Review and Climate Policy.

I hold an MRes in Political Science from LSE, an MSc in Philosophy and Public Policy from LSE, and a B.A. in Latin American and Latino Studies and Sociology from the University of California, Santa Cruz.

Before my doctoral studies, I was a Research Analyst at the World Resources Institute in Washington, DC where I worked on climate policy design and evaluation, particularly related to measurement, reporting and verification (MRV).
