I am currently a Profesora Ayudante in the department of Political Science and in the Center for Global and International Studies at the University of Salamanca, as well as an Adjunct Professor with the Josef Korbel School of International Studies at the University of Denver. My research interests lie primarily within the fields of political psychology, political behavior, and survey methodology. My current research agenda primarily centers on understanding how individuals perceive political leaders and how those perceptions affect their opinions and actions in both the domestic and international political system.
