Interests: My academic and professional interests center on international development, global governance, and public policy, with a strong emphasis on gender and development. I have a background in political science, international relations, and gender studies, and I am particularly interested in understanding how global processes and development interventions shape gender equality and social inclusion, especially in the Global South. My work takes an interdisciplinary approach, connecting politics, economics, and social dynamics, while also engaging with data-driven research and digital tools for analysis. A key component of my research focuses on the analysis of international aid and development cooperation flows, exploring their distribution, priorities, and impacts on domestic policy agendas. I have been involved in projects focused on citizen participation, environmental policy, cooperation networks, and critical data analysis related to development and equity. My work combines applied research with an emphasis on interdisciplinary methods and decolonial perspectives from the Global South.
