Data-driven policy, institutional design, and administrative professionalism. I translate complex governance problems into pragmatic, implementable solutions.
I work at the intersection of political science and public administration with a focus on how electoral systems and organizational design shape professionalization, policy efficacy, and public trust. My approach blends quantitative analysis (STATA/SPSS/ArcGIS) with institutional and legal synthesis to create policies that are equitable, operationally feasible, and durable.
