Hi! I am a Ph.D. Candidate at Florida State University.

My primary fields of interest are Comparative Political Economy and gender. More specifically I study parties’ strategies for candidate nominations in fluid party systems and weakly institutionalized electoral environments, and how this interacts and affects minority representation.

 

Before starting Graduate School at FSU I obtained a Bachelor of Science, and a Master of Science in Economic and Social Sciences from Bocconi University in Milan, Italy.
