Hi! I’m a Ph.D. candidate and Fulbright scholar at the College of Media & Communication at Texas Tech University. I’m also a part-time instructor at CoMC, and teach courses about business and professional communication.

I’m interested in the diverse dynamics of communication in everyday politics, with a focus on interpersonal, mass-mediated, and platform-mediated interactions.

Currently, I’m working in projects that explore the emotional components influencing individuals’ decisions to engage in or avoid discussing politics. My dissertation adviser is Dr. Bryan McLaughlin.

Before coming to Tech, I received a master’s degree in the Department of Social Communication at the University of Minas Gerais in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. I have been affiliated with the Research Group in Image and Sociability and the Research Group in Media and Public Sphere at the same institution.
