I am a postdoctoral fellow at Vanderbilt University’s Latin American Public Opinion Project (LAPOP) Lab studying the politics of immigration and public opinion. My core research agenda addresses the determinants of migration-related preferences, attitudes, and behaviors. Methodologically, I employ different types of experiments and causal inference methods for observational data. I received my Ph.D. in Political Science from Pennsylvania State University. In my dissertation, I studied the determinants of hostility towards immigrants, with a regional focus on Asia, and examined important pathways — educational content and national stereotypes — through which anti-immigrant attitudes are shaped.
