About me

I am an LSE Fellow in Latin American and Caribbean History and I hold a PhD in International History from the London School of Economics. My current research project is a transnational account of mid-20th century Colombian state formation, and findings from this have been published in Bulletin of Latin American Research, Journal of Latin American Studies and The Americas. I also have a BA in Spanish from the University of Bristol and a MSc in Theory and History of International Relations from the London School of Economics.Prior to my current position, I was a Predoctoral Fellow at the Universidad del Rosario (2022) and Vault Associate for The Americas (2024-25).
