What I'm looking for

I’m looking to apply my quantitative and policy interests in a data-driven role where I can support research, analyze complex problems, and communicate findings clearly—ideally within consulting or economic policy work.

I’m a highly analytical Political Science and Global Studies B.A. candidate with experience supporting academic research and teaching across multiple disciplines, including political economy, conflict, and quantitative methods. I focus on turning complex information into clear, actionable insights.

As a Teaching Assistant at Universidad de los Andes, I supported courses on political parties and elections, global history, order and violence, quantitative methods, and the political economy of banking. I advise students on research projects and academic assignments, and I guide learning that connects theory to evidence.

I also bring hands-on data support experience, guiding students in data analysis using Stata and Excel, including database construction, statistical analysis, and interpretation of regression results. I’m motivated by consulting, economic policy, and data-driven problem solving in fast-paced, team-oriented environments.
