Kellogg PhD Fellow

I was born and raised in Bogotá, Colombia. In 2007 I graduated with honors from the Universidad Nacional de Colombia, where I obtained a BA in history. A year later, I started the MA program in Latin American studies at the University of Texas at Austin. There, I became interested in comparative politics, political parties, and democracy overall. My MA thesis focused on party politics at the subnational level in Colombia. This fall, I am starting the PhD program in Political Science at the University of Notre Dame.
