My research interests lie at the intersection of comparative political economy and political sociology with a particular focus on political socialization and the role of social networks. In my doctoral thesis, I aim to achieve a more encompassing understanding of the economic winners of the knowledge economy – either as voters, workers, or business leaders – against the backdrop of major sociostructural transformations in western Europe and the United States. I aspire to do so by using a wide range of empirical methods, which includes observational designs, experimental approaches, and quantitative text analysis.
Prior to starting the doctorate, I graduated with from the London School of Economics (MSc in Comparative Politics) and the University Carlos III of Madrid (Dual Bachelor's Degree in Political Science and Sociology). I have also spent time studying abroad in the United States (Carleton College) and Denmark (Copenhagen Business School).
Outside academia, I was a Europe analyst at Teneo’s political risk division in London from September 2018 to September 2021. I have also worked as an intern at the European Commission's Representation in Madrid, the Consulate General of Spain in New York, and Eurasia Group.
I have held several research assistant positions at different academic institutions including Nuffield College, the London School of Economics, and University Carlos III of Madrid.
Over the years, I have carried relevant work with think tanks, research institutes and media outlets (El País, Agenda Pública, Policy Network, Esade EcPol, Política Exterior, Politikon).

At the University of Oxford, I am a Graduate Teaching Assistant for the Comparative Political Economy paper (Michaelmas 2022, Hillary 2023, and Trinity 2023).
