I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Population Health at LSHTM. My research uses statistical and demographic methods to bring clarity to human rights violations in situations where data are messy, incomplete, or missing altogether. My dissertation project—"Guerra de cifras" and cifras de guerra: Essays on data quality and conflict mortality in Latin America—uses quantitative methods to examine homicide mortality while addressing data quality issues prevalent in conflict settings. This project also incorporates a sociology of statistics component that critically engages with the production of mortality statistics in conflict settings. In addition to my academic work, I moonlight as a statistician with the Human Rights Data Analysis Group.

I am a member of the Health in Humanitarian Crises Centre, the Mortality Inequalities Research Group, and the Population Studies Group, where I serve as a student representative. I also serve on the American Statistical Association's Committee on Scientific Freedom and Human Rights.

I hold an MPhil in Sociology & Demography from the University of Oxford (Nuffield College) where I was a Clarendon Scholar and a Rotary Global Grant Scholar and a B.S. in Statistics & Data Science and Spanish from Yale University. I also completed the European Doctoral School of Demography hosted jointly between the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR) and the Institut national d'études démographiques (Ined). My PhD research at LSHTM is supported by the Economic and Social Research Council's UBEL Doctoral Training Partnership.
