I am an ethnographer interested in the study of work and organization in the contexts of public administration and political activism. My current research focuses on the work of public servants and the challenges that arise from their interaction with political actors and interests. In particular, I want to understand how expert work in public organizations is shaped or conditioned by conflicting professional, organizational, social, and political demands. Other research projects focus on the participation of workers and activists in organized collective action.

I was born in Guadalajara, Mexico. I studied International Relations at La Trobe University in Australia and a Masters in Public Policy and Public Administration at the Center for Economics Research and Teaching (CIDE) in Mexico. I am currently a PhD candidate in Management at Emlyon Business School in France.
