Bio
I’m an associate professor of political science at The University of California, Davis where I research and teach on security, development, and research methods. I also co-lead the CPLAB with Lauren Young. I often partner with governments, international donors, and their implementing partners to improve how development programs are designed and evaluated.
I was born in Cali, Colombia, grew up between there and South Florida, and have since lived in Texas, North Carolina, South Carolina, and now California.
