I am a Visiting Professor in the Political Science Department at the Federal University of Pernambuco in Recife, Brazil. During the 2015–2016 academic year, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the  Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions (CSDI) at Vanderbilt University. I received a PhD in Political Science (Comparative Politics) from the University of Notre Dame (2015). My research focuses primarily on the areas of corruption, public opinion, and voting behavior—more specifically on their intersection with issues of democratic governance and electoral accountability. As a Comparativist, my primary region of interest is Latin America, with particular emphasis on Brazil. I am also interested in experimental research design  and  survey methods, and I have conducted survey experiments in countries such as Brazil, Peru, Argentina, Colombia, and the United States. My work has appeared or is forthcoming in the Journal of Politics, Political Research Quarterly, and Latin American Politics and Society. Prior to attending Notre Dame, I earned a masters degree in Political Science at the University of São Paulo (Brazil) and a BA from the Federal University of Pernambuco (Brazil), and I was an exchange student at the University of Texas at Austin.
