I am a part-time DPhil student in Politics (Political Theory). For my thesis, I am working under the supervision of Cécile Laborde on a defense for what I call "a substantive right to candidacy'. That is, an account of this right that looks beyond its existence as legal permission, aiming to ensure that genuine opportunities to it are enhanced for democratic citizens.

Prior to this, I completed a master's in Politics (Theory) at Oxford, and in Philosophy at Cambridge. I've also worked in higher education in my home country (Mexico) since 2010.

I am a first-year MPhil in International Relations student at St Catherine's College. My research is focused on the form and formation of U.S. foreign policy, with a particular interest in bureaucratic politics, decision-making processes, and the relationship between decision-makers and their advisers.
