I am a Postdoctoral Teaching Fellow at LSE, specializing in pedagogy and political behavior. My teaching has been recognized with the Academic Senate Distinguished Teaching Award at UC San Diego and the Class Teacher Award at LSE.

My pedagogy research explores how to teach transferable skills that support both career-building and democratic engagement. I’ve developed open-access resources for quantitative methods education, validated through a published experiment showing significant learning gains. My working paper analyzes how active learning strategies foster critical data literacy.

In my political science research, I show that cultural values serve as trust signals between voters and politicians, challenging conventional wisdom about cultural politics as distraction.

As vice-president of Instituto Itéramãxe, I lead distance-learning workshops that have helped 100 students from disadvantaged backgrounds enter graduate programs in Brazil.
