My research centers on how information environments shape political attitudes and behavior. Drawing on theories of political communication, political psychology, and public opinion, I examine how social ties, media, language, and misinformation influence political beliefs and participation, particularly among Latinos in the United States.

I employ mixed methods, combining surveys, survey experiments, interviews, and computational analyses of social media data. Across projects, I investigate how individuals encounter political information and integrate it into political decision-making.

In my book-style dissertation, I develop a theory of transnational information environments to explain how cross-border social ties and digital media shape the ways Latinos encounter, interpret, and respond to political information.

My research has been supported by the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP), the American Political Science Association Dissertation Improvement Grant (DDRIG), and a number of competitive fellowships, grants, and awards.
