Political Science Expert
I am a Political Science expert with a PhD in Comparative Politics from the University of Kent (UK). My career bridges academia and political affairs. My expertise spans university teaching, research, and advising institutions and organisations on public policy, political strategy, and messaging.
Currently, I work in public affairs at Burson and lecture in Political Science at UNED. My research focuses on comparative politics, specialising in territorial politics, multilevel governance, and political parties. My work has been featured in leading journals such as Nations and Nationalism, Party Politics or Regional and Federal Studies, among others.
In addition to my academic career, I bring extensive experience in political consultancy, working with policymakers, professionals, and stakeholders to develop strategies that drive meaningful impact.
