I am a DPhil candidate in Politics at the University of Oxford. My research interests include comparative politics, civil–military relations, and political institutions, with a regional focus on Latin America. My research examines the coexistence of democratic politics and militarization across the region’s democratic trajectories. I use a range of qualitative and quantitative methods, including extensive fieldwork, elite interviews, process tracing, qualitative causal inference, and survey experiments.

I am a DPhil student in Political Theory at Balliol College, University of Oxford. Prior to undertaking my DPhil, I completed an MA in Political and Legal Theory, and a BA in Politics, Philosophy and Law at the University of Warwick.

My doctoral thesis – generously funded by the DPIR – explores the ethical dimensions of the animal rights movement, with a particular focus on how individuals ought to meet their moral and political obligations towards animals under present, non-ideal conditions.
