I am a Mexican researcher whose work sits at the intersection of public policy, political economy, and human mobility. My academic and professional trajectory has been shaped by living across cultures and contradictions. My research interests are in understanding how economic structures, institutions, and collective narratives shape individual lives.

With a background in International Relations and experience in diplomacy, applied research, and public policy, my work focuses on inequality, migration, human mobility, public policy design, political behavior, and political psychology. I study how economic transformations—particularly in North America—affect opportunities, trajectories, and decision-making for specific groups, especially women and migrant communities. My research draws on qualitative methods, quantitative approaches, and causal analysis.

I have worked in government institutions, international cooperation, innovation projects, and data-informed policy initiatives, where I have connected evidence with decision-making and bridged technical analysis with social impact. My research experience includes work on South–South skilled migration, labor mobility, Mexican migration in Boston, violence and displacement in Central America, and protest dynamics in Latin America using machine learning techniques.

I was born in Culiacán, Sinaloa—a place marked by violence, contradictions, and A LOT OF resilience. I became a migrant at a young age and have since lived in several places in Mexico and countries, including Poland, Japan, the United States, and Denmark. These experiences strengthened my interest in identity formation, adaptation, and agency in unequal or challenging contexts. Traveling has been both a method of observation and an intellectual practice: I have visited 48 countries. I believe that traveling, reading and talking to people are the best way to understand the world.

I am currently doing my PhD in Political Science at Northeastern University, where I research structural inequality, social mobility, political economy, political behavior, and algorithmic governance. In parallel, I lead an academic and professional consulting project that supports young people in building meaningful and intentional pathways inside and beyond academia.

Outside academia, I am dancing, cooking, decorating, writing poems, riding the bike (reminds me of Denmark), talking to my family on the phone (I am a migrant), and I can spend a considerable amount of time watching videos of cats on social media.
