Hi!

I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Government at the University of Texas Austin. My research interests include international policy diffusion and agenda setting, national security policy, and political parties’ policy agendas.

I have been a Graduate Research Fellow with the Policy Agendas Project since 2017, a Graduate Fellow with the Clements Center since 2019, and I was a 2019-2020 Brumley Graduate Fellow at the Robert Strauss Center. I hold a M.A. in International Strategic Studies (2016) and a B.A. in International Relations (2013) from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil where I am from.

When not working, I spend my time cooking, upcycling old furniture, and fixing bicycles.
