I am a DPhil student in Politics at the DPIR, and a member of Green Templeton College. My research focuses on the intersection of politics and organised crime. My doctoral thesis provides a framework for explaining variation in territorial control in Latin American cities, explaining how and why States are able to gain and sustain territorial control in marginalised urban communities dominated by armed criminal actors.

I am a DPhil candidate in International Relations at the University of Oxford. My doctoral project explores the intersection between the politics of victimhood and peacebuilding, focusing on the experiences of Colombia, Sri Lanka, Sierra Leone, and the United Kingdom in the aftermath of war. My research is being generously funded by the Colombian Department of Science, Technology and Innovation (MinCiencias).
